Gidday,
Those who have built their wings(the old way), can you please tell me 
how much epoxy you used on "each" leading edge? My epoxy just expired 
and I have sourced some locally downunder, but I want to make sure I 
have enough before I launch. I'd also appreciate any application 
techniques recommended, or pitfalls highlighted, such as size of mixes, 
unusual methods of mixing ( if any), initail foam wetout using 3-4" 
paintbrushes etc. Also has anyone rolled the leading edge cloth onto 2 
rollers and rolled the cloth down each side keeping it tight to avoid 
any ripples that would stick due to a wetted out substrate? Is this 
impractical or just not necessary? Any tips would be appreciated. I'm 
about to hit my straps, I hope!
