Hi all,

I am building a GP-4 and am for the most part, using T-88 as my structural glue and System Three Clear coat for my sealer.

I have some very large laminations, the wing spars and canopy bow, to do, and have decided on Hughes FPL-16A since is has a more workable viscosity.

I know that the mixture is 10 to 1 by volume. I would prefer to measure by weight, as I have a nice accurate scale.

Does anyone know the specific gravity of FPL-16 resin and hardener or just the weight ratio to use.

For example for T-88, it is a 1:1 by volume but 100:83 resin:hardener ratio.


Thanks

Paul Quenzler
