Are you saying that if you paint PVA release agent onto a layup on V/E or P/E resin it will make it dry better?? V/E does have drying problems, it stays tacky for some time, Does PVA help this. ++++++++++++++++++++ PE and VE resins exude a gum to the surface (surfaces?) when curing - this is the perceived tackiness (that takes ages to dry out). I once used a high quality PE that had reportedly been "de-gummed" and it was very nice to work with and sand, like fast curing epoxy. A US manufacturer for model airplane products (K&B) also offers something similar that I have used. The big difference is in how the cured resin will sand, the gum quickly clogs up the paper and that is a real pain. I am also interested in the comment regarding PVA as a potential solution, but what are we talking about - PVA wood glue? PVA water soluble release agent? PVA wall paint?

The resin I am using is unwaxed and I'm adding wax in styrene to the final lay-up to ensure all below it cures properly. So if I don't finish to top coat on the day I'm using V.E sure it will be a little tacky until I put a coat of resin with wax in it on top.

VE and PE resins are air inhibited. The surface in contact with air will never cure to rock solid. PVA blocks the air and solves that problem. So does mylar layup (same thing Mark Langford does, but leave the plastic on). I'd spray it with a gun or airbrush, though. Don't want to mix it into the resin. I keep a rechargable spray can around for PVA. -- Steve N205FT mysticz28@swbell.net He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2005 05:41:20 -0500 (Eastern Standard Time) From: "Dan Heath" Subject: Re: R?f. : Re: KR> VE resin To: "krnet@mylist.net" Message-ID: <4204A2D0.00000F.00416@DANHOMECOMPUTER> Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Then, how do you get rid of the wax, so it won't gum up your paper.

PVA water > soluble release agent? PVA wall paint? The release agent stuff that washes off easily. I never, ever use wax (or waxed resin) since it trashes any bonds to that surface in the future. I usually try to lay everything out so no joints are completely cured before adding the next part, though. For example, if I was glassing a foam bulkhead and skin section which would need to be joined I'd make sure to get the two assembled before the glass skin cured. That way it's a chemical joint, not just mechanical. -- Steve N205FT mysticz28@swbell.net He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in. ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2005 22:37:34 +1000 From: "Glasseyegav" Subject: Re: KR> VE resin To: "KRnet" Message-ID: <000701c50b7f$77d929c0$0100000a@vic.bigpond.net.au> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" So you approve of using foreign materials like PVA inside your fuel tanks!!!!!

The waxed resin doesn't actually leave a waxy surface on the cured resin, It's as hard as hell. It's the resin without wax in it that seems waxy and gums the sand paper. It's actually uncured resin doing this.

As soon as the temp warms a bit, I plan to repair a leak in my original Rand two part gas tank. My halves were joined with epoxy resin. My leak is at the bottom where the threaded fitting was epoxied to the bottom. My thought was to either use epoxy or a sealing compound called PRC, that smells like hell, but is fuel proof. Should I consider resealing the bottom with VE???

Orma -------- Epoxy will stick, to V/E but not as well as V/E will stick to it's self.. Personally I would remove all the epoxy if possible, sand well, and repair with V/S resin, you can add M/balloons as a filler, place normal cloth as you would with Epoxy. then to be sure of not have any pin holes , Pour some in from the top and move the tank around and watch the resin move over the repaired area, and let set. Beautiful. Only my opinion, but I added extra seal in my wing tanks by placing the wing at the required angle and ran V/E through the fuel inlet, along the top four edges to seal, one edge per day. it gets into all those corners that may have been mossed.
