Great advice, fuel proof...future proof. I use 30 min epoxy in engine bays although I have never thought of thinning it I just give it a blast with a hot air gun on a low setting. Could I get away with using isopropyl alcohol, I've got plenty of that, its a great mixer😵💫🤢??
For many years all I ever used was Humbrol fuel proofer, but I must say using thinned epoxy must work far better and add extra strength. Now I fly electric I don't have to bother. Nice one Mark.
Really enjoying your videos. I use fibre glass resin. Cheaper than epoxy and you don't have to thin it.
Thank you very much, pleased you enjoy the videos. Fibre glass resin is a great alternative, thanks for the suggestion 😀
Great info as usual Mark.
Thanks 👍
Hi Mark, informative video as always. Will use this method on my next plane. 🙂
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment
For combat flying wings, I wonder if the plane will last long enough for the fuel to soak in ...

Hi, thanks for the comment, its appreciated. Yes Isopropyl alcohol will work just fine, I have used it in the past
Nice! If I'm building a model with exposed wood i like to stain the wood before i fuel proof. Makes for a nice detail. Nice video! Mike
Hi Mike, thanks for the comment, yes staining or painting the wood can look great and works well under the epoxy, totally agree
