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.
