: I used the 6116 S-glass on the Neytiri NH. Getting it to wet it out
: clear was slightly harder than regular 4oz E but it wasn't bad.
: Your epoxy just needs to be thinner to get between the fibers. I
: rolled my epoxy on and then ran a heatgun quickly over the top.
: It cleared out almost instantly. I then sqeegeed off any extra.

: I've used both MAS epoxy and Resin Research with the 6116 cloth.
: The Resin Research epoxy may be more viscous but it seemed to
: wet out the cloth quicker than the thinner MAS. Go figure.

I just ordered 25yds of the 6116. Another question, I have about 1/2 a gallon of U.S. Composites 635 3:1 epoxy left over from a previous build and was planning on ordering another gallon. Is there any reason it would not be compatible with the 6116 cloth?
