Dan,
I used Aeropoxy with both fiberglass and carbon fiber layups and it wets out
easily now matter which type of cloth I was using. There's very little odor
and using acetone to clean brushes it stops the cure in the brushes right away
so I can use the brushes again. I would highly recommend
If this aircraft has such a bad rep as the previous mentioned then why have
so many been built and as a new owner should I be a bit concerned? I have
previously owned and did the testing on a Sonerai 2 . The .KR 2 seems like
a good step from there.

Just putting out a second enquiry here.
After the first inquiry I met a person named Harold and went down to
the Kalamazoo area to view his aircraft is under construction and it is a
beautiful machine! And will be when it is finished! He and his wife are
first rate people!
Now I am
The plane really has no bad rep. It is usually the workmanship in the
building and/or the flying skills of the pilots that come under question.
Many of us often critique the KR but our remarks inadvertently come off as
disparaging. Please do not lose sight of the fact that the KR is a great
air
I will swear by West Systems Epoxies simply because I have suffered no
physical problems with it. I have had severe skin rashes with other systems.
Otherwise I cannot say if one brand is superior to another. I have used West
system layups to make fuel tanks, layup on/over urethanes and Styrofoam

I second the Aeropoxy recommendation, but others are just as devoted to
West, so apparently you can't go wrong with either one of those. Some folks
like Wes
I honestly believe that structurally there is little difference whether it
is T-88, West system, MAS, System3 etc.West system has been used
for years in the Marine industry with complex layups of wood and plywood in
a pretty brutal environment. I would think that if one were to do the

I recommend EZPoxy although most people that have not tried it use West
or Aeropoxy. If you check my name and epoxy in the archives you will
find a comparison that I did a few years ago.

I have found and reprinted my epoxy comparison below. I think I did one
with Aeropoxy also at some point, but could not find it. Surprising to
me that nobody else has ever reported a comparison or commented on mine.
I really would like to hear comments from others that have used
different epoxie
You are correct. There isn't much difference between room temperature
cured epoxy resins. The curing agents make a lot of difference in
viscosity and pot life. The differences start to show up when you get into
autoclaves and heated cures. There is difference between epoxy
adhesives...mainly du

I use West System on most of my projects exclusively, as they are marine
related and the boat store is a 1 mile away. However, what you state about
the West is true and now that the Canadian Aircraft Spruce is only a 1/2
hour away I will try some EZ and T-88.
How do you
It can be done with a few simple tools and some ingenuity. You'll need some
4x8 construction foam panels (the 1" pink stuff works well), a couple of
heat guns and an oven thermometer. Build a box of the foam panels big
enough to hold a wing section, suspend the wing section from the top and
