| Subject: | Fibreglassing Wings |
Looking at the new Tailwind Times (thank you Jerry!) I saw where 3 coats of West
Systems epoxy were recommended.
I was told quite a few times in the past, that once the glass fibers were impregnated
with resin (the cloth becomes clear) there was no significant advantage
strength-wise to adding more resin. All that would happen would be an increase
in weight.
The instructions were to use a lightweight filler to get the surface smoothness,
once the glass was "resined".
Was this incorrect?? I glassed my wings some time back using a nice rubber squeegie
I got from a boat/canoe supplies shop and stopped after one thorough fill
coat - then light wet sanded and set aside for a later set of primer coats. Did
I mess up??
