Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aeropoxy over West System? Compatibility?Does anyone have any experience in using Aeropoxy OVER West System? I need to add a couple of layers of fiberglass cloth on a fuel tank and I've run bone-dry on West System epoxy resin and hardener but I have a fresh supply of Aeropoxy PR2032 resin and PH3660 hardener (originally intended for something else...) Thanks,S.B.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Aeropoxy over West System? Compatibility?I've used both these systems over the years plus analyzed them ascompetitors for composites applications. There would not be any problem ofusing either of these two systems. Aeropoxy was one of the two systemsapproved by Rutan for integral fuel tanks on his canard-pusher designedhomebuilts, and has functioned for close to 15 years. West is used mainlyin the marine industry and is used for fuel tanks. One tip- if theepoxy/glass laminate you're trying to bond something to is shiny, you gottasand the surface to about 80 grit to get the next layer of epoxy/glass tobond properly.Gordon BowenOriginal Message:-----------------
