Epoxy before Dope?
« on: February 19, 2014, 12:31:47 PM »
Boy, I wish I could remember how I used to do things years ago!  What is the preferred method for fuel-proofing an engine and tank compartment?  I am going to use thin epoxy to seal everything up.  Can I then apply clear dope and  paint after or should the clear dope go on first before the epoxy?

Yeah, that's what I thought.  Thanks for the confirmation.

Remember to rough up the epoxy surface a little before putting paint on it.
