| Subject: | Fiberglass / Epoxy NO Paint |
Here's something I've been wanting to try for a long time:
I just ordered some Epoxy Premium Pigment from AS&S.
Prep the plywood on the wing, use 1080 deck cloth with straight resin, while
still tacky - squeegee resin with micro-balloons and Epoxy Pigment, then I'm
going to use this stuff in the last two layers of West System 105 Resin / 206
Hardener, and if I can get to flow & look flat and glossy, I'm NOT going to
paint the wing.
So...waddya think ???

cold weather...

Gordon,
The reason for the micro balloons is to fill the weave, after the cloth is
applied with straight epoxy. The final 2 coats will not have micro balloons in
it.

Dan,
The only thing different in the process, is that the epoxy will have some
white pigment in it. Cloth will be applied without any pigment.

I have played with pigment in the epoxy and it is not opaque enough. At a
certain point you start to lose some strength with the large quantity of
pigment trying to get it opaque.
Try a small sample first on some test pieces and see what happens.

Also remember that the epoxy needs to be protected from the UV and I don't
believe the pigment will be enough. If you call Gougeon, and ask for a Tech
Rep they will give you their opinion. They have been very supportive in not
laughing at some of my ideas.
