• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I am building center section (Inboard) ribs for a Skybolt D. I have coated the internal portion with EV-400 epoxy varnish. As you can see I have masked off the panels that will glue onto the ribs, but have gotten a small amount of varnish into the masked areas of the outer plate. I plan to rough it up slightly before gluing, but first, are there any compatibility issues with EV-400/410 and T-88 glue I am using? I dont suspect there is a problem as the area is small and I dont think will affect the glue surface, but definitely curious.

As you D and radial builders know, this rib will be an enclosed section, but for another question, how many coats of varnish are necessary for the internal areas of the rib? I had only planned one.
