If you want to thin vinyl Ester resin or epoxy resin. You need to use MEK (
methyl ethyl ketone). Both Lowe's and Home Depot has and 1 gallon cans. Ace
Hardware sells it in 1 quart cans. MEK is a very good all-around cleaner also.
One thing about MEK. California has determined that it cause
Jeb,
I see that your front deck is removable. So was mine and I had a leak as well
when I 1st filled it up. I was in the seams at the bottom when I floxed it to
the rest of the tank. Because it was removable I could pour epoxy it though the
filler neck and let the epoxy flow to the seams. I did
I also agree with Larry that sloshing sealer is not very good on VE. I
bought some years ago to slosh a KR tank. I tried it on the inside of a
part of the tank I cut out which was fairly smooth and it did not stick
well and could easily peel off and get in the fuel system. Probably
would have bee
Not sure if you have worked with VE resin before, but it is already
pretty much water thin. I can't imagine wanting to thin it any more.
That is one of the reasons I don't like to work with it unless you are
doing it in a mold because it is so thin it does not do a good job
filling in the holes i
Hey there Larry, quite a setback for me.
I guess I didn't build it good enough 15 years ago.
The leak occurred during weight & balance - got empty weight, then
started filling 15 gallon header
tank (attached permanently to underside of removable front deck) - We
got about 14.5 gallons
in before
Just passing this along, I'm on the mailing list and this is a great

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.

I don't know of any truly fuel resistant epoxies. Vinyl ester resin
(which Aircraft Spruce sells) is very fuel resistant. That's what I
built N56ML's tanks with, and run auto fuel with ethanol with no
problems...severa
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)
