I used VE to build all glass parts of my plane. I also talked to Dan quite often in the process. Dan always told me that the advantage to VE was it chemically bonds to itself and you don't have to sand between layers. I didn't sand between layers and my plane seems to be holding together fine in the fiberglass area. Just a word of experience. I've always been a proponent of VE because of the lack of allergic reaction problems which I have way too many already.

Dan Diehl just told me to scuff it all the way down to the glass if I was not going to use VE and because of the small amount of resin that I was going to need, advised me not to bother with VE if I would sand it down as he prescribed. So, I suggest that if you still have a lot of glass work to do bonding to VE keep going with the VE. However, I think that it is the most difficult of all the resins, to work with because of the sticky outer layer. It has that layer because it is made to be used in LAMINATIONS, putting one layer on top of another. If that is not your purpose, then you are better off to stay away from the Esters. There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building has expired. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC See you in Mt.
