Tip: Cut your mixing sticks (tongue depressors) square on one end to better stir epoxy in the cup. It helps get in to the bottom corners of the cups and the square end also helps squeezing epoxy / flox / micro in to some areas also. Larry Flesner

A further note to this ; the hardener gets thicker with age and harder to squeeze out. I found 30 seconds in the microwave brings it back to life. Let it cool before mixing or it will accelerate the cure time . Chris Gardiner Sent from my iPad > On May 15, 2017, at 8:24 AM, Mark Langford via KRn

My fiberglass tank developed a leak while doing a weight & balance. I'm leaning on slosh and another thick coat of epoxy inside (after cutting the bottom off) I'm looking for opinions on the best fuel resistant epoxy. I can't advise

I think it's well established that vinylester epoxies are the most fuel resistant. How well that will stick over other epoxy is not something I know. Mike Taglieri On Fri, Jul 20, 2018, 10:33 AM jeb via KRnet wrote: > My fiberglass tank developed a leak while doing a weight & balance. > I'm le

That’s pretty much my consensus on what I have researched. I drove up to Georgia today to visit mom and she is 50 miles from AS&S in Peachtree City. I’m headed there in the morning to get Aeropoxy and other things that cost lots to ship. Thanks for your input. Mark Jones Oldsmar, Fl www.flykr2

You really should give EZPoxy a try.  I have tried the all and find it by far the best.  Dug up my old comparison here: https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/msg01666.htmlBrian Kraut904-536-1780br...@eamanuacturing.com Original Message Subject: KR> Epoxy From: m
