I know this sounds like a stupid question, about to do my first build on a ML Boatworks 1/8 scale 150/MHR8710 Winston eagle / cellular one extreme kit. What methods do you use to apply the epoxy to the 1/16 plywood parts and the stringers.Using West Systems G Force epoxy. I don?t want to use too much and certainly don?t want epoxy squishing out all over the place. Thanks in advance, I will probably have a lot more stupid questions in the near future ! Anyone else here build this boat ?

Im doing similar on my first boat but im not thinning it. -
Im a new builder as well and have a similar hull. I got mine from someone that gave up on a build.
I have been using tightbond wood glue to do a lot of assembly and tacking things together. Then used thinned west west system epoxy to seal the inside. When its thinned it runs down into the joints and seems to really be some strong stuff. Get the pumps… makes it super easy.
I did pick up some gflex and filler today since I am going to start working some areas where I understand that to be a good choice. Like the motor mount etc.Comment
