    Fibreglass resin?

    I want to fibreglass a plane and I am going to get fibreglass cloth form Hobbyking. However I do not have a resin.
    If any bros out there know how to fibreglass can you please tell me what are you using and where you get it?
    I know theres the Deluxe Eze-Kote, however it is expensive and I want to find an alternate. Ive heard of polyutherane and polycrilic but where to get and exactly what brand and type works better?
    Thank you

    Hi, for my fibreglassing needs, i just use zpoxy finishing resin. See if ntc has stock.

      deluxe ez kote only seems to work nicely on the thinnest grade of fg cloth.

      for thicker stuff, laminating epoxy also works.

      but it seems to be the same price.

      alternative is liquid polyurethane floor varnish.

      but its also pretty expensive and comparable to ezkote.

        TS, note that if you are using the lightest glass available from HK, IMO the weaves are too coarse...you'll end up adding weight from the epoxy to the plane without much strength from the glass.
