REFLECTOR: Shelf life of Aeropoxy structural adhesive

[Al Gietzen]

Tony;

 

I'm no expert; but if the cans are still sealed I'd say there is no problem
using them.  Exposure to atmosphere can degrade the hardener due to oxygen
and moisture.  I have tested EZ-poxy that was more 2 years old against new
and couldn't tell the diference.  Nothing scientific, mind you, just that
the force to break the bond "felt" the same.

yup, one set. It was a couple of quart size cans one resin and one hardener.
Don't know what color they are as they're still sealed. So how did your
first strake go?

Hmm, you got "a couple" of cans as in one set?.......hmmmm, I only got one
set (one can of white gunk and one can of black gunk....did you get more
than one pair? I ran out pretty quick and had to buy more.  Not cheap (ok,
in the big picture maybe...but y'all know what I mean). . I also got quite
of bit of fine bid, but notice the newer plans do not seem to have as many
call outs for its use.  Just curios as to the continued changes.

 

All the best,

 

Chris

I have a couple of cans of Aeropoxy structural resin/hardener that came with
my kit a couple of years ago. I recently replaced my epoxy with fresh but
I'm wondering whether I should also replace the Aeropoxy. Especially as I'm
about to start the CS spar.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Tony
