Hi,
I have gotten alot of answers but no one really answered the question.
What brand is the best for epoxying fiberglass to foam? Best as in whats not
going to bubble on me when its 140 degrees on the runway in Phoenix in July?

David,
I can't answer your question, but I have lived and flown in Phoenix and I
cannot imagine why anyone would leave a perfectly good airplane on the ramp
there after sunrise in June, July or August. I know they do, but no one is
going to fly much after 0700 because it is just too d*mned hot

Larry,

True; however, it is subject to shrinkage over time unlike epoxy.

I apologize if this is insulting to anyone, but just so you don't think

determining factor is the resin type that will be us
Exactly!
Go to the company websites and check thier temp limits and you will throw out
any such lumberyard foam- or better yet stick it in the oven at 150 degrees
and watch it warp.

Ron asks-
>Why would you use this stuff when urethane is available?
Cost and availability are about the same, so maybe ease of working with it?
One big factor that brought it into common usage on homebuilts was that it
can be hotwired without generating toxic fumes like urethane foam, but ther

since everyone that responded said to use that one. I live in Tucson, AZ

They all have a de-linking temperature.

Aeropoxy has among the highest de-link te
All the sourcesI have read on composites recommend painting the plane any
color as long as it's white. Why spend years building something only to let the
sun destroy it because of paint color?
