Pietenpol-List: epoxy resin

Hey,I'm getting ready to layup my cowling. Any suggestions as to which epoxyresin to use? I'm kinda leaning towards longer pot life as much of whatI've ready seems to focus on a race with the stuff curing in the pot.ThanksDouwe________________________________________________________________________________

Not sure what you mean by "layup" I've had excellent results with WestSystem, they have different hardeners to alter the set time.Jack,Jack _____

Douwe=2CSystem Three's clear coat epoxy has a long pot life and wets out really nice since it's thinner than other laminating resins. I think it would be plenty strong especially in something nonstructural like a cowling. But you can check their tech sheet and compare. It's great stuff to work with.Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow Ohio
