(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hi guys. I am moving pretty good on all my rust and bodywork issues--need some info and suggestions.
1.-What is the glue of choice? i.e.: Hysol products, or the regular epoxy stuff? 2. How are ya'll installing these? trimming,,etc....do you grind down and feather edge the edges as installed, or build up glass beyond the bond seam and feather edge that?? I was test fitting mine yesterday, and my left side ones are trimmed along the edges about 1&1/2 inch less of a diameter than my right side ones--I called AA about them and the guy suggested I vacuum bag them and add more material?????? Not the answer I was hoping for--so in the interest of this project moving ahead --I am going to make them work. But as I see it now, the right and left side are going to be different from each other, but thankfully, the same on the whole side respectively. Thanks in advance!!!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hey specialk--love your avatar- are you an A&P?? I am--also a Falcon 20 mech with the coast guard. I was thinking hysol also--but this bonding fiberglass to steel has thrown me a curve--all I ever work with is composites and 2024,7075,5005,etc....
I was thinking about the stress crack thingy also, but I rationed that after everything is glassed and glued that it would not present itself as a problem----- Things to ponder-- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) thanks ya'll (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
