aluminum, foam, epoxy. All looks perfect.
That’s
good news.
Just
a reminder, all epoxy that is fuel exposed must be high ratio type.
Like
4 to 1. 50/50 ratio epoxies can NOT handle “fuel” over
time.
That’s bad
news. Should I conclude from this that EZ-poxy (44-56 by weight) will
NOT
handle fuel with ethanol? I assume when you say “fuel” you
mean fuel with ethanol, since experience has shown that EZ-poxy has
handled
auto fuel for periods of 15 years in some EZs.
