Pieters, T88 as the resin in fiberglass? Have any of you tried this? Would itmake for a stronger or weaker fiberglass product?Ken________________________________________________________________________________

Ken, I used T88 as the resin when I made my laminated Ash and fiberglasstailwheel spring. Regular epoxy resin made for structural fiberglass wouldbe easier and lighter. The T88 is thick and it takes twice as long to wetthe glass. The reason I used T88 was that I did not want to buy resin andonly use the 4 or 5 ounces I needed and have the rest left over. The T88works fine but is harder to work with for use with fiberglass cloth.Wayne McIntosh----- Original Message -----
