Ok, so you build a wooden airplane, and it actually flies. You park it
for the winter and the temp gets down below zero, alot.... Does this hurt the T-88 epoxy glue? Would the constant below zero temp to close to 100 each six months do any damage or weekness? Lou |

![]() Dear Lou, The basic answer is 'no.' But only when a host of assumptions are valid, such as promising to never dip your zero-degree-cold wooden airplane into boiling water and so forth. That isn't a joke, by the way. Marvelous as epoxies are they don't even come close to resorcinol when it comes to durability. The FPL has a number of papers on this subject. (Using FPL-16A as part of the seed will help narrow down the search.) But on the whole, once the bond has formed and the structure sealed, low temperatures are not a problem. -R.S.Hoover |
