<<I'm wondering, though, just what are the latest opinions of the experts
out
there on what applications are most appropriate for Hysol and epoxy/flox?>>

I was also told that the main reason to use Hysol was the longer pot life
(they are both epoxy, right?).  The statement "Hysol vs. epoxy/flox" brings
up another question.  As far as I know Hysol is almost always used with
flox, especially for thick bond lines.  Wouldn't a mixture of epoxy or Hysol
and glass fibers be stronger?  Somehow cotton fibers don't give me the
impression of a space-age high-strength material.
