2008-10-12 Thread J L
I have been working on my new wingtips and was curious to know what to use as a filler on pink foam. I have made a pink foam plug and will be laying glass up over the plug. I have been using lightweight spackeling compound on pink foam since my RC days but is there something that sets up quicker an

Home depot pink foam distorts at 150 degrees. It is not a recommended substrate for aircraft use. I tested it and tossed out a lot of hard work. Bob Polgreen Nowthen MN ** Check out free AOL at http://free.aol.com/thenewaol/index.adp. Most comprehensive set

OK, polystyrene. It will dissolve from gasoline, bondo, and most solvents. You can use it in places where you can be sure it will not be exposed to gas, and as Bob says, where it will not have loads, maybe the turtle deck if you must ? You can skin it with epoxy and micro bubble if you want to

Let me be more specific. Its a foam plug for wingtips and will be dissolved with acetone after the layups are done. Its just giving me a shape and nothing else. Jeff On 2/20/07, Dave Arbogast, CISSP wrote: > OK, polystyrene. It will dissolve from gasoline, bondo, and most > solvents. You can use

Jeff, In that case, just rough sand the foam, lay up over it directly and fill your lay ups with micro. Dissolve away. I put it in a composite sandwich for control surfaces and watched them bend at 150 degrees. Now I use last a foam. for structural parts. Bob P.

Again, its my fault for not being clear. I have to fill it some because the shape was complex and difficult to cut and I ended up with a few hot wire trenches where the wire got stalled. Jeff On 2/20/07, bearlk...@aol.com wrote: > Jeff, > In that case, just rough sand the foam, lay up over it

OK, thanks. I did not know if there was some standard among composites gurus. I will just stick with what works. Jeff On 2/20/07, Keith and Martha Crawford wrote: > I used light weight spackling. It seems to work. > > Keith and Martha Crawford > mar...@simerson.net > http://martha.simerson.net
