That’s about the temperature of my shop also... I set my resin and hardener in front of a small heater until the bottom of the containers are about the same warmth as my hand or a little warmer than that. Works wonders

Ok... Sorry for the delay.... I placed one of my panels in a ziplock bag with 30% heli fuel, let it sit for 48 hours... I took a razor blade and cut a checkerboard pattern into it to allow the fuel to have full access to the paint and primer. The only issue I found after removing it from the...

I prepped several aluminum test panels and a piece of epoxy resin sealed 1/16” aircraft ply. Two coats of white epoxy primer for the first step. My plan is to take one of these all the way through final top coat and the others will only be coated with each step in the process. So I will end up...

Huge shout out to Joe at ZippKits! He hooked me up with one of his prototype 21GT stands and a newly designed glass cowl, which fits like a glove. She’s pretty much ready for paint. That’ll be coming soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone ever used this epoxy in particular?  Total Boat Penetrating Epoxy I’m curious, just looking for some feedback...

I ended up ordering a quart kit of the bright white. I’m going to epoxy prime a couple of test panels and paint them with the 2k waterborne polyurethane paint. I’ll post an update in a week or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wanted to show how I deal with cooler workshop temps for curing resins and paint. Link to thermostat

Absolutely... And really good ventilation in the spraying environment. Lots of cfm’s of air movement is key.

A number of years back I was the paint supervisor for a company in Florida, an aviation defense contractor, we did a lot of testing for Boeing and Lockheed Martin. All of our primers and undercoats were waterborne epoxies or waterborne urethanes. That may sound odd to some, but the systems we...
