I wouldn’t do ANYTHING until I tried to let it cure in warmer temps. Heat lamp, perhaps?It is minus 6 (with gusts to 43mph) in Iowa tonight. No epoxy will cure in my garage tonight 😯 Spring seems like a…   Read more»

Use a green scrubby and mild soapy water.

In that case, the stickiness isn’t uncured resin, but something called Amine Blush. A sticky, waxy-ish coating that occurs sometimes on epoxy cured below normal temps or in high humidity. Harmless and should come off with a good scrubbing of…   Read more»

The fresh-laid glass was very sticky on my 4″ minimum diameter project. I was quite concerned. I let the works sit in the garage on a hot summer day, and that took care of a lot of it, but not…   Read more»

I’ve had this happen with West Systems myself, again due to insufficient mixing. I usually mix for at least 60 seconds and I really work to get all the corners and crannies of my container well stirred up.When it happens,…   Read more»

The rockets stay in a room that is about 65 F. I’ll keep this one somewhere warmer for a day and see how it looks tomorrow.Thanks for the advice guys.

What kind of temperatures have they been in?If it is anything <70ish, I would keep them in a 70-85 degree area for another day or 2 and see if they harden up. If they don't, then I would go with…   Read more»

I’d recommend scraping the bad ones and starting over. My guess is that it isn’t a bad ratio, but rather insufficient mixing. The rule of thumb I’ve been told is “If you think you’ve probably mixed enough, you’re about half…   Read more»

I am waiting for Edward to complete his system also. Then I will invest in another motor system.I am wholly disappointed in Aerotech, so much so I have not purchased any of their motor products because of the treatment and…   Read more»

I’m really liking the Skyripper experience. Easy to work with, quick to build and best of all – you can’t regulate plastic. 😀

RATT and SkyRipper are indeed awesome. Incredibly easy to assemble and clean. The K240 has the most unique sonic feature I have ever heard. The M900 has 12 second burn. If that doesn’t get your blood pumping, I don’t know…   Read more»

I’m still partial to the RATT motors but only because I’ve still got a reload or two waiting to be flown. The RATT K240 is a screaming banshee of a load and the M900 is no slouch. There’s also a…   Read more»

I would have to agree here with Edward.. Sky Ripper is a way better way to go. That is until Edward gets his all up and running!!

These hybrids are mainly aimed at the people who have invested in the Hypertek system and want another option to fly. The basic Hypertek setup was a tank that connected to a plastic disposable fuel grain. The Trojan setup you…   Read more»

That does seem to be a helluvadeal, but I noticed that it does NOT include the Hypertek tanks. Any idea what THEY run, and I assume that the volume of the tank dictates what impulse range you’re in.How are these…   Read more»

No, fixing everything and making the site even more awesome isn’t good enough! What are we paying you for? …oh, wait…Thanks, Jeremiah
