Subject: Re: [LML] Fiberglass repair materials

Try  Dan Newland at www.pegasusaeromarine.com for cloth and resin.  I have s=
topped using fiberglass and all my repairs or mods are carbon fiber cloth th=
ese days.  The key is to use peel ply to hold the cloth down.  I purchase a l=
arge roll of peel ply - about 12" or more wide and then just cut what I need=
 off for any size layup.  The small narrow rolls are not worth much and over=
 priced.  The resin Dan has is higher modulus than the Jeffco and will be st=
ronger at no higher cost. Unless you have an oven and vacuum or a press mold=
, pre preg material won't work for you.  If you are speaking of the honeycom=
b laminate that is another issue and it's nice to have some scraps around.

Rivets and the like are tools you need around the shop and I suggest you get=
 that stuff at Harbor Freight if you want it cheap.  They will work fine and=
 if they don't, toss em out and buy another they are that cheap.  Have been u=
sing my pop rivet squeezer from them for about ten years with no complaints.=
  These are pop rivets I'm referring to.  Consider using those over the beve=
led aluminum rivets every place where the rivets are not structural but just=
 there to hold a nut plate in place for instance.  The cherry pop rivets are=
 SOOOOO much easier to work with and perform just as well.  Where I need to s=
queeze the aluminum rivets, I just borrow a tool from friends t the airport.=
  Can't justify $100 plus to buy that seldom used tool.

Micro balloons and chopped fiber pretty cheap from Lancair.
