I agree you should use your AeroPoxy. The mix ratio is different for the
E-Zpoxy. Also, the E-Zpoxy really stinks!
And... I thought the kit was way over priced. The foam is inferior as compared
to the higher density foam as used with the Europa. The Rutan book is okay, but
it's odd shape is a bit of an aggravation.
