Carbon Dragon stuff 11 Dec 2013 23:31 #680

Hi Phil,

I attended a Marske seminar 3 years ago. West System resin was mentioned and we were told that it shouldn't be used in aircraft construction. Jim said its post cure temperatures were too low to create a safe airplane. If I remember correctly, he said that West System could safely be cured at about 100 to 110 degrees F. An airplane left in the sun can easily reach temps of 120 to 130 Degrees F. His recommended epoxies post cure in the 150 to 175 degree range which is what he recommends.

Give him a call and ask him about post curing WEST System resins, it could save your life.

I live in New Hampshire. I have a set of Carbon Dagon plans and sported the idea of building one for over 10 years before I decided not to build one.

Good Luck.
