better model builders

which kind of epoxy resin works best?

it's for 1/8 and 1/4 scale building.

What do you use this epoxy for?

You say, Fiberglass? Does that mean you are using actual glass cloth, to make a body shell? If so, why not use regular polyester resin, which is what fiberglass is almost always laid up with?

I've made several fiberglass model car bodies over the years, all of them Indy car bodies from back in the day when that was my particular passion. Works far better than epoxy resins, frankly.

yes, i am use cloth.

i've found out 3/4 ounce is too thin.

going to get 2 ounce and 5 ounce from Hobbylinc.

i'll stick to epoxy resin.

i have Great Planes Pro Epoxy Finishing Resin.

it matches up 'drying times' wise with 60 minute Pro Epoxy generally.

Have A Nice Day!
