Hi Chris, In Jack Lambie's book on building and designing composite aircraft, he suggests using only Polyester resin when building a KR2 and explains that all the load carrying componants are wood and that epoxy is not really required from an engineering viepoint.
These are not my claims at all, but his, direct out of his book. On my project, I've used only polyester resin and although not yet flying or airworthy, it feels very strong, even after many years out in the open and even rain at times. For what my opinion is worth...

I have been told there is a epoxy made by the araldite people LC 3600, whihc is supposed to be the bee's knees as far as soaking into the wood goes, has anyone any experience of using this product, its also quite expensive.
