[RCSE] Molding Fiberglass with color??
Hello Everyone, I'm interested in polling the group on which way to color a fuselage layup. The way I see it there are 3 ways to get color onto a fuselage. 1. Use a pigmant when mixing up your epoxy?? 2. Paint the mold prior to laying up the glass?? 3. Paint the fuse after poping out the fuse from the mold?? Looking for Pro's, Con's tips and tricks anything the experts can add.. Thanks, Mikey D RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Which HLG - part 2
Thanks to all who responded. Here is the tally so far: Encore 3 Epsilon2 Wizard 2 Javelin2 Climmax1 Dogger Deluxe 1 Feather1 Given the parameters it looks like there might be an Encore in my future. Just before I take the plunge, are there any last words of advise? In case you missed the original post, here are my criterea: 1. Molded/sheeted/whatever wing. I don't want a balsa built-up wing. 2. Not exotic. IOW, I don't want one of the new long-tails like the Logic. 3. Durable. I don't want one non-soft landing to break something. 4. Ailerons (no polyhedral). 5. Transportable ...revised... (I got over it). 6. Minimal building. I can build, I'd just rather fly. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [RCSE] Molding Fiberglass with color??
Mike, I have been making fiberglass parts for about 15 years and still the best way is to paint after the part is made. Tinting the epoxy gives a semi-opaque finish and sometimes weakens the epoxy. If painting the mold prior to lay-up, the mold needs to be perfect. Any imperfection on the mold line would need touch-up and re-work making that a waste of time. I use quality primers and automotive paint to get excellent paint jobs...While I am at it, I hate to see the new trend of high-dollar sailplane kits that have mold lines down the length of the fuselage. I think some of the American manufacturers should take a lesson from the European kit makers who produce seamless lap-joints on their fuselages. - Original Message - From: Mikey D [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 28, 1999 4:34 PM Subject: [RCSE] Molding Fiberglass with color??
