I used urethane glue for the semicircular laminated support for the rear side of the inst. panels and it worked great. But I do have a question to put out there for T88. I have a container of opened but barely used T88 resin that was purchased just a few months ago. Except for the top 1/8" the entire volume of the resin has gone solid and milky and I have no idea why. If something was to solidify, I would have expected it to be the hardener. Has anybody else seen this?Jeff Hill in North Texas - all woodwork done, now working on cockpit metal stuff (and the rebuild of a Stearman, don't ask)_________________________________________________________________All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.- Get a free 90-day trial!http://www.windowsonecare.com/purchase/ ... __________

Jeff did it got cold in Texas? I recall reading in the instructions that this can happen. What I think you need to do is heat the resin. Check out the instructions or web page to see how hot to get it.System three's website, The Part A resin has hardened and turned white. Can I stilluse it?Yes. The white solid or haziness is a mass of resin crystals.Crystallized resin will not cure properly. These can be melted byheating the container to 120=B0F. The resin will clear up and beas good as new.Chris TracySacramento, CaWebsite at http://www.Westcoastpiet.com ----- Original Message -----

Just heat it up gently with a heat gun and it goes back to normal.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: T-88 and urathaneDate: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 05:09:09 -0600
