When I first started working with T-88 I would apply it meticulously and try to
clamp it very tightly. After breaking a couple of test joints and working with
it more, as well as reading the instructions, I found that the joints shouldn't
be clamped to hairline invisible and that a little squeeze-out is a good
indication that the joint got filled. Now I'm generous with it and judicious
with the clamping. It looks awful when you get squeeze-out but you can wipe off
the excess before it hardens, or scrape it off once it cures, or just leave
it alone if it's not unsightly. It doesn't quite cure to invisible, but it also
isn't a big contrast between varnished wood. Since I'm not a cabinet maker,
I like to see the glue joints ;o)
Everything that I have read about T-88 is that it adheres to itself quite well,
so if after curing you have a gap that you don't like, you should be able to
fill it with some more T-88 buttered into the gap. Of course you don't want to
be bridging wide gaps with epoxy if they really just need to be cut out and
re-made with a tighter gap, but T-88 is a good gap filling epoxy.

little report on how I am doing, I have the rib jig built and awaiting the arrival
of the 1/4 by 1/4 sticks it takes to built the ribs. I have one half of the

cdlwingnut-
I know that the Ragwing was designed around a 28-35 HP engine, but what do you
have in mind to power yours with? The Valley Engineering "Big Twin" is way too
heavy and too much power. The two-strokes will work, but are you thinking of
a two-stroke or something like the 1/2 VW? And by the way, where are you located?
