Epoxy opinions

      I just got a load of spruce from Wicks, got the spars cut and am getting ready
      
      start gluing wings together.
      
      I understand that many Tailwinders are using West System epoxy to sheet their 
      wings. I am also planning to do the same.  Are you also using West system for 
      general gluing?  Do you use the two step method of applying raw epoxy to both 
      pieces and then appllying thickened epoxy to one piece before joining?  What 
      thickening agent(filler) do you use?
      
      I have used T-88 to make the ribs.  I am debating whether to stick with (no 
      pun intended) T-88 for the gneral wing build up, or West.  I've never used 
      West but it sounds like it might soak into the wood more?
      
      Thanks in advance for your experiences.

      What's wrong with using T-88. It seems like great stuff
      and time tested.
      Wrong?
