Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: T-88 questions..........................................We use a lot of sticky epoxy mixtures on composite aircraft, most people use common 2" wide plastic film packing tape. It has the added advantage of staying where you put it and it is micro thin. I could see putting a piece of this down under a glued joint.Regards, ChrissiCG Products, Custom Aircraft Hardwarewww.CozyGirrrl.com Cozy Mk-IV RG 13B-turboPlans #957 Chapter? big pieces done, details, details**************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

(Crossing fingers)Im about a month away from starting assembly of the 3-piece wing. I was wonderingif anyone has built their wings vertically (i.e. leading edge up) instead ofhorizontal lying flat on a bench? If so, could I get some pictures and/or descriptionsof how to jig this up. Reason why I want to do this is I could workon both wings at the same time and it would fit so much better in my garage.I have a few ideas of my own but just thought I would ask. Usually my ideascause delays, frustration, and added cost. How are the rest of you building your wings? Is there a better way then the wayI am thinking? Or should I just cave in and kick the wifes car out of the garage.Chris--------Chris TracySacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:

Chris,Personally, I find that I am much less productive when I'm lying flat on abench. I get more done when I'm standing up... or were you referring to thewing lying flat on the bench? On another note, you can put a car IN the garage???Bill C.

BillyJust remember that it's not a good idea to use T-88 on 2x4 wall studs. You will use way too much glue.However, when buying 2x4's you can look for a reddish coloring in some boards with a fine grain, those being douglas fir and put them aside for airplane parts.Dick N.----- Original Message -----
