Is the thickened 655 gflex epoxy easier for motor attachment?

[DeltaForceMan]

Getting ready for motor attachment.. I'm thinking the regular gflex epoxy will run on me.. Anyone have first hand experience and pointers??

Thanks!

I use Zpoxy 15min. thickened with either milled Fiberglass or milled Carbon Fiber. Depending on what kind of hull I'm working with. You mask a outline of the mount legs about 3/8" away from the leg, and when the Epoxy is about 1/2 hardened you pull the tape. It leaves a nice sharp edge.

The gflex will run a bit, not as thin as the regular West Systems, but it will sag.
I thicken with the West Systems 403 microfibers, a can of that will last you decades!

What I do! I also like to put "rails/dam" around the motor mount railings, some might be put off by the looks of it, but I like the extra reassurance.

I use G/Flex with 403 for motor mounts. Make it any consistency you want.
