As far as I know you rally can't get West Systems much thicker than the standard mix ratios. Hysol 9462 however will not run on vertical surfaces.....even underneath something. Takes awhile to setup, but amazing in its ability to stay where you put it.

Plus the nozzle is awesome for putting a bead right where you want it.

Don’t get me wrong I love Hysol 9462 always have some on hand and as you gentleman have started it works great. It was just a suggestion so that the job can continue.

I added some balsa to the back side of the rudder post so it would hold it's shape and make getting the hinge alignment correct a little easier.

Also the Hysol finally arrived, so I glued the hinges in the post permanently.

I sure like the way that Hysol system works. For those that use it, does the nozzle get tossed with every use?

Yes, that's why I like to have several things ready to glue at once. Last night while doing the rudder hinges I also did the control horns in the elevators and rudder. With the long 55 minute work time you don't have to rush, and the glue stays just where you put it, it doesn't run all over.

Have strange question. Has anyone put a carbon fibre gear leg in a oven and heated it so that you can bend it or reshape the end. If have how hot did you take the oven up to.

Sorry @Jetpainter about the post above I thought I was in another thread.

Some choose to not use the nozzle and mix it like epoxy but you can't beat the long reach and neatness of the nozzle.

In my line of work we use the dual mix cartridges like Hysol comes it for all kinds of things. Most are much bigger cartridges for a big gun. I gun some out and mix by hand all the time for small things. Of course we do use a bumper repair product that starts hardening in 20 seconds, that one is gun and mixing tubes only for obvious reasons. When you use that stuff you best have all your ducks in a row, or you'll make a big mess.

The other night when I was gluing the rudder hinges in I also glued the rudder and elevator horns in. The elevators came with laser cut plywood fixtures to locate the horns.

Last night I tackled the thing I've been dreading most, gluing in the rudder post. It took several tries to get it tacked in with CA right where I wanted it, but I was able to get it so the pin would slide in and the fit was as good as I could make it. After that I ran a bead of Hysol around the edges. Hopefully after it cures the rudder will still fit.
