They are available in two forms, maybe more. The fiberglass ones (result in a white mix when used with epoxy) and the phenolic ones which result in a brown color when mixed. Both seem to work equally well.

Hay!! Thank you all. I think that if I could take my head out of that place where the sun doesn't shine I could come up with a lot of info for myself. But here is another one for someone to answer. Had an old raddle can of Ultracoat paint. It was enamel and I started to paint My Giant Spacewalker wings. You guest it, The paint is not fuel proof. Is there a covercoat that can be sprayed over the enamal to make it fuel proof? Or do I tear the fabric off and cover it again? A job I don't want to unless I really have to. Haven't called any paint company yet. But someone out there has screwed like this before me and has an answer.(maybe)

I heard a lot of scale guys use a clear varnish or poly finish to fuel proof finishes that can not take fuel.
