Gav, You had also asked a question on how much epoxy to buy. I ended up using 4-5 gallons of epoxy, but I am also scratch building all the way. I bought a gallon at a time as I needed it, not all at once, and bought the next gallon as it was getting low. That way you don't have epoxy sitting on your self for several years. Some epoxy does have usage dates. I've used West, T-88, Aeropoxy, and the dreaded vinyl-ester for the fuel tank.

Why doesn't someone tell me what weight glass you have used and where you get the information ? it's ALMOST AS IF I've BEEN BLACKLISTED this isn't really such a silly question is it compared to some I've read on here. > > Gav ROBERT F.
