When using aeropoxy to glue in bulkheads,must I still use glass fiber with the aeropoxy? or is the aeropoxy all I need to use. My thinking is that it is to thick to use with the cloth.

As long as you thoughly "clean & rough up" the fuse area (assuming a epoxy fuse) where you are attaching the bulkhead, there is no need to use glass cloth to reinforce when using Aeropoxy.

Never had one break free even with bad landings.

Just my opinion .....

I totally agree with Nick. I"ll never use the glass and epoxy method again. With the applicator and tips, it make the neatest joints that are nearly(I said"nearly") impossible to break.It may seem high in price, but once you use it you'll understand. Scott

thanks for the info that means less work for me

Here's a quick tip for making professional looking strong bonds with Aeropoxy. After determining where the frame or bulkhead fits in the fuselage, sand the glass with 80 grit paper. This will provide "tooth" for the bond. Wash with laquer thinner or equivalent solvent, and allow to dry. Insert and locate the frame, and tack it in with a small amount of gap filling CA. Just a couple of spots will do.
Apply the Aeropoxy (using the mixing nozzle) to the periphery of the frame, then make a small fillet with a "Q-Tip". The Q-Tip radius is the right size for a strong fillet, and will also remove any excess adhesive from the joint. Excess glue adds weight, looks bad, and does not contribute any strength.
Clean up any excess Aeropoxy in the area with laquer thinner or equivalent, and allow the adhesive to cure.

Enjoy!

Harley,
How long is the epoxy good for unopened and allways kept in fridge? I think it's been in there for about a year. thanks Kevin

I just opened/used some that I purchased about a year and a half ago. It was fine. It was not even kept in the fridge, but it was in the cellar (a cool and dry place). (I think Aeropoxy is fantastic). Bob

Thanks Bob, I was'nt sure, cause I heard the one thing about it was that you could'nt store for long...not sure if that meant opened or unopened! Kevin

BV's AeroPoxy doesn't have an expiration date but the 9462 (same stuff) that I bought about 6 months ago when I got a mass order together here on RCU is good for 3 years at 70 degrees...No need to refridgerate!!!

Cool Kevin, I mean great! So what are you working on?..you always have big jet projects etc...!

Well....Since you asked!!! I'm working on an Air Magic F-15 for a good friend, Overseeing the building of a KingCat for another, and I just got my EuroSport on Monday!!! The wife said if I bring home another jet she was leaving....I'm gonna miss her!!! LOL---just kidding!!!

Kevin

Does anyone know where you can buy Aeropoxy in Canada?

I sent a email to loctite to find out the shelve life of 9462 and they told me 36 months from the production date on the cartridge. Kelly
