Re: RB16 new build KY 1st timer
Also, it looks like your tape is starved for resin. Shouldn't be any white after you stop messing with it. It goes all the way to clear before your done adding/moving epoxy.

Re: RB16 new build KY 1st timer
Mix enough for one layer at a time. Get the next layer on anytime before that layer gets hard. Your window for laying the next layer (without sanding between layers) is between real wet but already stuck enough not to move and too hard to dent very easily with your fingernail. With slow, you've prob...

Re: RB16 new build KY 1st timer
I have at least a half hour of working time with slow. My FB-11 was done with fast in warmer temps and I usually fought it kicking too fast for me, and my slow self. I've read in a West System book that putting it on over tacky is best, but that just past that is still okay, so long as its still sof...

Re: The pink filler is...
Jaysen, you said woodflour absorbs water.
In glue, only the sanded surface would, much like closed cell foam, right?

Re: The pink filler is...
Thanks fellas.
And I misspoke. The kit I recieved had this and woodflour, so its the fairing compound. I got lotsa balloons and unopened Quikfair from last time.
Looking forward to easier sanding.

Re: RB16 new build KY 1st timer
Whats your working temperature and hardener speed? Answer depends on that. But I don't have the experience to give you a better answer on time. For instance, its in the 60s days and 50s at night here now. After watching my slow stuff cure, I've come to feel that I could be putting another layer on t...

Re: The pink filler is...
Maybe near inside corners where its a bit harder to sand? For filling the weave?
Trying to understand why I'd choose it over microballoons. Both come in a kit.

Re: The pink filler is...
Thats what I thought plain microballoons was for.
So, is this fairing compound for vertical or upside-down surfaces? Is that why the silica is added? Is it to be mixed with more microballoons or used as is?
Whats best use on an open OB?

Despite the thread title, we are no longer near the Big G nor does nesting really work on a cartop.
