Hello, Newby here who'd greatly appreciate some advice.

I'm a fair way through building a MiniMax here in Australia, and I have nearly used all the T88 epoxy supplied with the kit, so need more glue.

T88 is eye-wateringly expensive in Oz, so I will use WEST epoxy. I have used 105/205 before, and I actually prefer it to T88, esp when modified with fillers.

But I see WEST have now introduced G-Flex, which is more flexible than the 105 resin system. It is more expensive than 105, but of course only represents a tiny percentage of the build cost.

So my question is, has anyone used both G-Flex & 105/205 - 6, and if so, any observations? Should I go for the more flexible product, or is this unecessary/undesirable?

All input gratefully received.

Cheers

Bruce
