Dear sir

I would like to use some CF TOW along the the fusalage on my plane,bearing in mind there are three types of epoxy, I`m unsure of the correct epoxy glue to use to hold it down. speed of cure is not an issue but good contact is and what is the most ecomical amount to purchase.

Many thanks...

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. How are you thinking of using the tow down the fus, just laying out strips down its length to add some rigidity and then wetting them out and 'sticking' them down using the right epoxy?

If it's as I've described above then I would go with our EL2 Laminating Epoxy which can be purchased in a small 500g pack. This would be enough to do this operation hundreds of times over.

If you plan to do something different then just let me know and I'll reconsider.

All the best, Matt
