When it comes to low-cost general-purpose epoxies, I prefer the 635
system from US Composites (http://www.uscomposites.com) with 3:1
medium hardener.

I have not started building my plane yet... haven't even settled on a
WHICH plane... but I have used US Composits epoxy to build a canoe
from scratch and can attest to it's properties. It appears to me to
have every bit of the strength of West systems epoxy for about half
the price. The only downside is the shop really needs to be at least
80 -90 degrees for it to cure in a reasonable time.

A few years ago I built a sailboat and a canoe using Raka epoxy, and I
was pleased with it. One thing I liked was the ability to mix the fast
and slow hardeners to get exactly the cure speed I wanted, which helped
a lot in getting the stuff to cur ein Alaska.
