Re: cabosil or microfiber
Mup,<br /><br />I just finished my stringer and deck work.<br />I can tell you that I talked to West system<br />and got some insight from the source.<br />I used 404 high density to glue in my stringers.<br />It is the stuff as far as strength is concerned, and I think it should be used in any areas that will be under repeated stress or torsion. However it is hard to get it to thicken up. The microfibers thicken up very quickly, and with less filler used, so you save a little money. It works really well if you use mostly 404 and then add some 403 micro at the end just to thicken it up to where you want it. One more advantage to 403 is that has good wetting out properties even when thick and is great for gluing wood. Remember that the more filler you put in, the less strong it will be. Mix it up super thick for fairing, and just thick enough for gluing. Make sure you mix small batches and dump it out on a board to give yourself more time to work. Use slow hardener if you can. Also make sure you thouroughly mix the epoxy before adding the filler. Now, go mix up some pooky.<br /><br />H90
