• 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.

Hey all.

I have my wing leading edges in place and I am almost ready to put the top lamination over my wingwalk areas. That will bring me to filling/sanding the seams and any low spots.

I've been watching a lot of guys use automotive filler and i haven't completely ruled that out but... i'm interested in using a compatable epoxy/micro slurry instead.

I used System Three T88 and clearcoat for the glue up. The exterior of the ply skins are bare wood for now. I was thinking of buying system three epoxy and mixing with microballoons i have already. System Three also sells several filling products, like silvertip quickfair, but i don't have experience using it.

I'm building in a big hangar, things are cooling down here in Ohio, and temperature may soon be a factor.

Please share what you've used and why.
Thanks.
