    Has anyone reinforced their im31 v2 hulls ?

    Hi .308 is your real name 7.62 NATO? I'm also New, But I Took 30min epoxy and mixed up a batch, thinned it with alcohol and brushed everyplace I could reach. Darin has a thread on here building a race im31 and he is using CF. I'm not going racing we just Bash ours. Have Fun, Henry

      Thats a pretty good idea what kind of alcohol did you use ? Denatured or isopropyl ? And did you just brush the epoxy where you could get it or were you able to get up in the bow where the foam is located ?

        I Used isopropyl, We use it in the engine compartments of our R/C Planes. Fuel Proof/Stronger. Nowhere near as strong as fg or cf , but My impulse does 49.1MPH it doesn't need to go any faster. I brushed it every where I could reach and two coats on the frame work.
