After opening the can of resin and hardener. I followed the directions and selected the correct size tubing for my group size which was group "A"
I primed the pumps 3-4 times and now I was ready to use the product.
I thought I would see how it "sets" in the plastic cups I had used to prime the pumps. I noticed that it was pretty thin the first 15 or so minutes and then I decided to leave and run some errands. When I came back the cups began to melt, but I caught it in the nick of time before it got on my work bench. I tossed the cups in the trash, but the product had set up very nice.
So now was the time to try on my PML Bull Pup, which turned out with excellent results. I epoxied the boat tail to the airframe and the epoxy flowed nicely on the inside creating a nice fillet around the forward center ring. Very even results
The one thing I did notice about the product that I liked is the "one" pump for both which is fool proof. The only thing is that each pump does make a substantial amount of mixture so I have to be aware that when I use to make sure I use it all without wasting it.
I also have the Silica 406 and chopped carbon fiber which I plan on using on my next set of fillets
West Systems is great stuff and very practical in the long run. I still would like to try some "Rocket Epoxy" I know a lot of you guys on here use and with great success.
