BD 5E and ronseal / fiberglass
Paul Shadbolt replied to Paul Shadbolt's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Still working on various foams. It (Wattyl) does not affect Depron and takes about two days to set of for a second coat. 4 days for crystal clear. And about two weeks for methanol fuel proof!! Haven't tried petrol yet. -

Myron Just tried Wattyl water based estapol on a piece of Depron. (We cannot get Ronseal here in Oz.) Appears to work great and no problems with affectin foam or adhesion, and it dries crystal clear!!! Will wait a couple of days for full drying and report. Must try it on ordinary Polystyrene!! -

Just received the january mag, and there is an article about building a BD 5E by Cyril Carr. He mentions covering his wing with Ronseal and fiberglass. Does anyone out there know if this any different from using either polyester or epoxy resin? Any real difficulties with adhesion etc?

Thanks Eric, I didn't think of that. Mind you we do suffer a little here in Australia, due to time differences. Paul
