Bob Smith Epoxy for foam and general aircraft use?


i am about to begin my slow stick "build" and will need some 5-min epoxy for various areas but most importantly the wings.

i have tons of west systems epoxy on-hand but only the slow set hardener so i figured that i would pick up some 5-min epoxy.

i notice on the description for bob smith epoxy that it cures slightly flexible, not knowing how flexible, i would like to know if it would be ideal for joining the wings of the slow stick?

thx

Would work great for what you want. Brittle hard is not good for foam. Have used it extensively for just about everything requiring epoxy with no problems. Just go easy on it. You don't need much.

use the contact glue in the kit. It bonds good and stays flexable

There is no glue in the kit, they must have taken it out since the manual specifically says that there is no glue included and to use epoxy.
