Greg,

those are two great products that Ed is using.

The finishing resin is pretty thin - it flows quite a bit so you can thicken it up to consistency and hardness with the milled fibers. Once you get it in the stab joint (for example), you can smooth it out at the stab/fuse junction with a finger dipped in alcohol. This just helps to glide the finger along the material and produces a nice U shaped fillet. Same goes with say a wing fairing fillet that you apply atop a ply guide and tristock.

You might want to use a disposable glove when you do this (I've started to out of consciousness although for years I never did).

Very nice work Ed!

David.

P.S. I see that is actually 30 min epoxy not finishing resin (~60 min epoxy) but either one will do.
