Finishing Resin epoxies are thinner than construction epoxies. Most common uses are laminating layers of anything together, or applying fiberglass / carbon cloth to a surface. The thinner and slower curing characteristics allow easier squeegeeing and easier finish sanding.
Pacer's Finishing Resin system is specially formulated to bond fiberglass to wood and foam. Resistant to shock and solvents and is odorless. This Epoxy is resistant to shock and solvents, is non-brittle, easy to sand and has flow characteristics. Total working time of this resin is 20-30 minutes, and it fully cures in 3 hours completely clear.

Epoxy Finishing Resin
Finishing resin is brushed over open-grain wood, glass cloth, or foam to seal and smooth a surface before painting, filling weave and grain so the final finish lays down evenly. This category gathers finishing resins used in that step of a build.
Epoxy and Polyester Options
Z-Poxy Finishing Resin, offered in a 12oz size, is a thin epoxy resin often used to seal balsa and glass a fuselage. On the polyester side, Sig Quick Filling Finishing Resin comes in a 16oz pint and in a resin kit for builders who prefer that system.
Because these resins cure to a hard film, they add a measure of stiffness and abrasion resistance to a light structure, and working in thin coats sanded between passes builds a smooth base for paint. Deluxe Materials Foam Armour is also stocked here for adding a tough skin over foam surfaces where a harder shell helps resist dings.
