    Really enjoying your videos. I use fibre glass resin. Cheaper than epoxy and you don't have to thin it.

    For combat flying wings, I wonder if the plane will last long enough for the fuel to soak in ...

    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😵‍💫🤢??

    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

    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.
