Kieth, I have experience with both, my preference is the West System for a number of reasons: 1.) Buy the pump kit-makes dispensing the product very easy and accurate. 2.) I've wetted out Fiberglass, Carbon fiber and Kevlar with both systems, I perfer the West System because I just got better

I remember some time ago when I was evaluating epoxy resins, I found the West system was not "as strong" as some other products available. West can be used in structural applications but you will have to modify your design accordingly. So far as the KR design goes it is essentially a wood

More taste! My KR has all of the wood glued together with West Epoxy. 500+ hours over 8 years flying with no glue related issues. The laminates on my KR are a real mixed bag. Some parts are vinylester and some are Safe-T-Poxy. Jeff Scott A / KR builder -- "Oscar Zuniga"

I have used west system on my boat repairs and read their (very heavy book) cover to cover. The west system is as good if not superior to many other epoxy systems because of the ease of use, 2 types of drying set-ups and colours etc.. Just be sure to use the proper fillers! EG filler 407 is best

It's my experience that they are all the same. They are the same basic chemicals. Some of the solvents differ slightly but they are basically the same solvents. Temperature has everything to do with how fast the solvents evaporate as far as fume density is concerned. *0% of the time I use

I've never trusted twin pump epoxy dispensing systems. There are just too many ways for it to not work properly. Proportioning by weight is the only way to go for me. That way I know exactly what I'm getting, and never have problems. Pelouze makes a scale that's accurate down in the 1 gram

My experience with the West System has been the same as Orma's. I found that I was not getting a complete squirt when the pumps had been left for awhile. So I began a habit of having 2 epoxy cups handy, one to squirt just enough epoxy and hardener to prime the pumps fully, then dispense the

One paragraph on the website mentioned, says that west system epoxy in it's primary form is not an adhesive, You make it into glue by adding fillers. It would probably be excellent to use as glue when the right fillers are mixed properly. I believe I will stick with T-88 and not have to mix
