DX3 XL Epoxy Questions

[Hammertime1041]

I am currently attempting to build a DX3 XL. This also is my first build away from the lab I usually use at my college.

After scouring my local hobby stores and home improvement stores, the only epoxy I could get my hands on is BSI 30 minute epoxy, instead of West Systems or Aeropoxy which I usually have access to at my school's lab.

Having not used BSI 30 minute epoxy before, does anyone know if it is an acceptable structural adhesive for a rocket expected to fly on a L840?

Any info is appreciated.

You’re going to get lots of opinions here but I know a few people who have used it on their L3 projects (fiberglass) and had no issues.

It will work fine.

I have used it for many rockets. As everyone has said it will work fine.
