Re: Tapping headers for smoke injector. Thanks Trevor, not sure how I missed it. I will try the epoxy I bought this time around. Looking forward to adding smoke to the airframe and playing around with the setup. Boys and there toys.... |

Re: Tapping headers for smoke injector. Rick... it's call EZ-Kote and Great Hobbies sells it. It's white waterbased liquid that brushes on and dries clear with a nice hard protective coating. I use it in place of epoxy to wet out glass cloth also. Best of all, it's a fraction of the weight of epoxy because it's waterbased. That being said, if you have oil or exhaust under your cowl and around your motorbox, you have bigger issues than gooey wood, LOL. I've yet to ever protect the wood on a plane. Maybe I should start in case of an accident. |

Re: Tapping headers for smoke injector. It's a good idea to seal the motor box and exhaust tunnel even if you don't have smoke. But yes smoke oil is messy and doesn't do the wood justice. You can thin epoxy and brush it on. Works pretty good. There's a water soluble product I used on my last plane I built. I forget what it's called. If TBrum pipes up Im sure he knows what it's called. No stink, it's light and brushes on and dries fairly quick |

Re: Tapping headers for smoke injector. It was mentioned to me that smoke oil can cause havoc and it was recommended to apply a sealant to the motor box and fuse using epoxy. Does anyone seal the balsa around the engine area or inside the fuse and if so what do you use? I was looking at some epoxy but the manufacturer did not mention being fuel or oil proof. |
