I used The jeffco 9700 epoxy system. Worked beautifully.
Wasn't that nasty to work with either. I also Used a thin coat on the inside of the cowl and the floor of the fuselage where you will eventually get a hydraulic spill/leak eventually...
It is gray and impervious to any type of fuel...

I used epoxy to seal my tanks. My tanks passed the leak checks during construction and have never Leaked since in service.

Another question for those who have gone before.

 

The L360 manual which I am using, in the section on the header tank construction, says that I may seal the inside of the tank with primer and then tank sealer (“PRC 1422” is suggested), or  with “two thick coats of resin” (page 11-34).

 

I am interested in what others have found to be the best way to go. As I live in Australia, the resin option is much easier than importing the sealer. However, I suspect there may be more to this decision than just the cost and simplicity advantages of resin. I would really appreciate any advice that others may be willing to offer.

 

Thanks again.
