Thanks! Ah, that's a good idea! Since the kit came with syringes, I just stuck with that, but I am curious if that would work better. Will have to give that a shot.
There are cake decorating kits that are designed to be used with ziptop bags. You clip the corner of the bag and put the the desired tip in it and then fill with icing (epoxy in your case) then squeeze. You would only have to clean the tips. And if you know someone with a 3D printer that could print you up a bunch of tips for cost of pennies, clean up would be tossing the whole thing in the trash.
SpectreFox - Thanks for posting the video. I’m reading about this stuff in the KitFox manual and it was nice to see it in action. I hope the build is going well, perhaps I’ll see you on the forum.
Sure thing! Glad you found the video useful! Don't post much on the forum. Just posted on question on there a while back. I need to post more on there though.
I think I used the syringe once and had similar results. What works really well is just applying with popsicle sticks and going over the bonds with paper towel soaked with rubbing alcohol. Not sure if you're there yet, but you will also reach some steps where you will expose your clecos to hysol. I find submerging them in alcohol and cycling them a few times and then letting them sit overnight in the alcohol keeps them from seizing.
In my work with b737's we would take an acid brush (small brush on a metal handle), cut the brush short with scissors or razor blade and use that. Then dispose of the brush.
Cool video, content and production are top notch. Epoxy and wood, the tried and true composite materials. Is this glue to hold the stringers to the metal?
in a previous video you asked for input regarding future content related to tools and tips. please tally my yea vote for this idea. i am convinced by people like you that building an airplane is not insurmountable. i have a decent size toolbox that has accumulated plenty of automotive tools, but i would like to know what i could use to save effort on an airplane build. i am contemplating a rans s-21. keep up the good work.
Thanks for the input Craig! Have a video coming soon about reaming and will do another covering all the tools. It's definitely not insurmountable and hope to see you get started on a Rans S-21 soon! Glad you're enjoying the videos and hope you find them helpful.
Another great video. This kind of detail can help so many builders out there that struggle with some of the little things.
Thanks Eddie! I'm new to all of this and these types of things aren't immediately apparent to me and hopefully it helps others.
Great video I was just wondering if the bakers piping bag would work better I’m definitely not an expert I was just a thought

SpectreFox let me no if you try it I’m curious
@@scottnick996 Will do!

@@scottnick996 I have heard of people who have used ziplock bags with a corner cut off

Thanks for the tips! Especially the one regarding the clecos. I've not reached that part yet
Why not just consider the syringes as consumables - 1 time use. then pitch um.?

Thanks Richard! Yep, so far I've used this to bond the wood ribs to the metal on the elevator and horizontal stabilizer.

just use ziplock freezer bags cut a small hole in the end of it after you rolled or squeezed it together
Definitely save time and money doing that
