A few days ago there was a message talking about softening of Hysol epoxy

in a Lancair plane, presumably due to the presence of alkohol in auto fuel.

I decided to check resistance against alkohol of Aeropoxy 2032 that we

use in KIS planes.

I put samples of cured 2032 and Hysol in pure alkohol. After two days in

alkohol both Hysol and Aeropoxy are very soft and disintegrating. Both of
them were affected in a similar way.

I will check T88 soon. The sample is curing right now.

Have you or anyone looked at the Ceiba Geigy - Epibond 420A/B, it's used in
the Europa's.
