Fiberglass molds/fuselages

Oct 15, 2004 1 Replies

Hi all,



I'm looking to make some fiberglass fulelages, but I'm concerned about using toxic substances to do so. While searching the web I came across a water based resin system

called Aqua resin. Anybody had any experience with this? Or alternatively, do you know of any other non-toxic (or relatively so) methods of replacing regular epoxy?



I would like to be able to work in my basement over the winter and while I have a dust filter system and windows for ventilation, I would prefer to use a low/no smell, safe product. I have seen people talking about using water based polyurethane for applying fiberglass over balsa, but I assume this would not work for an epoxy replacement when molding parts.



Thanks for any info.



Cheers,



Vince


There are plenty of epoxy resins that have little or no odor. It has been a long time since I did any of that but Z-Poxy finishing resin has almost no odor. I believe that some of the West System stuff is the same.
