• 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.

Gents, I need some advice before starting this big step. I'm worried about the working time of the T-88 with summer temperatures. Seems it starts to thicken up after about 15 minutes. Even working with two people, it seems like a lot of epoxy to spread in a short time. Any advice how to get the glue spread all over the L/E ribs and top and bottom of spar quickly (assuming it is going on the wing structure and the inside of the leading edge skin as well)? Is it best applied with a spatula or brush or something else? Can anyone suggest how much epoxy should be mixed to attach one lower wing leading edge? If you have some firsthand experience, please post. Thanks.
