I then compile these pictures into time-lapse videos you see posted on my site.

This is because Aeropoxy is NOT fuel resistant and part of the exterior fuselage actually becomes part of the inner fuel tank.<br /><br />That said, I'm not so sure EZ-Poxy is 100% fuel resistant, but it is more fuel resistant than other epoxies. When I contacted Endurance Tech (makers of EZ-Poxy) questioning if EZ-Poxy is in fact fuel resistant, they sent me a bunch of charts and graphs showing how fuel only eats the composite at an extremely slow rate (something like less than 0.1% weight change in a period of 28 days). This still hasn't put my mind at rest; after all, just because it's extremely slow, doesn't mean it's ok. I'll have to do more homework on this later - if all else fails, I'll have to apply a special sealant to all surfaces in the fuel tanks. <br /><br />Here is a link that explains the situation pretty well:<br /><br />http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?5628-Epoxy-suitable-for-fuel-tanksAryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914208726502866360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416976019310059172.post-51352393506181825032013-08-02T08:57:09.310-07:002013-08-02T08:57:09.310-07:00Awesome.

I guess I'll just have to contain my OCD until it's time to paint! The good part however is that it lets you see any air bubbles or dry spots immediately - so it's easy to fix before it cures!<br /><br />-Ary Aryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914208726502866360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416976019310059172.post-4752285607867576532013-05-14T05:31:54.926-07:002013-05-14T05:31:54.926-07:00Looks great Ary.
