Hello everyone.

I am attempting to find a suitable epoxy resin in SE Asia (Thailand
specifically) for building a composite airplane.


the major strength reducing contaminant for epoxy is moisture.
make sure you take humidity into account when doing a layup.
ie the lower the humidity the better.

btw got a ciba geigy dealer nearby? they have aircraft stuff.

Actually, CIBA Geigy sold their entire Araldite product line to
Vantico. (Yes, already talked with them.

Vantico does have a small office here in Thailand, but no word from
them yet on whether their recommended aircraft epoxies are available
in SE Asia, and here in Thailand specifically.

I'll definitely be following up on this though. Thanks for the help.
