Oh, and aeropoxy is avail from aircraft spruce.
420 is fantastic stuff btw. Super strong adhesion to cured epoxy, and useful for
all sorts of applications beyond the europa kit as I've discovered over the
years.
Cheers,
Pete

My preference is for the MGS epoxies and it is what I was using in the Cozy.
I started using L285 but when it became hard to get and expensive due to the
Hazmat classification I switched to the L335 which is also approved for all
aspects of the Cozy construction. A littler harder to use than L285 (slightly
thicker) but a good option given the price of L285. I found during a search of
the list that L285 is OK for the Europa but is the L335 also approved? Can these
epoxies be used in lieu of the Araldite 420? Is there official documentation
on the use of these alternatives on the Europa? If the Araldite must be used,
what are good sources for it?
