Can anyone tell me what a "normal" aviation grade expoxy resin
consists of? What about resources that will help me to understand this
so I can make an informed choice.


Try Bruce Pfund, he's the composites editor for Professional

Or try Andy Marshall, he's another composites consultant, an EAA
member.

Dow epoxy resins and hardeners seem to be widely available throughout
SE Asia, and their properties are well known. You're looking for a
system with low to medium viscosity, high glass transition
temperature, room temperature cure. Dow talks a lot about their
resins, but not much about their cured properties. But here's some
suggestions: resins DER 331 or 332. Hardeners DEH 29 or 39. They
appear to have about the right properties.
