Anyone use WEST SYSTEMS......
....to bond panels on their Vette..?
I am in the process of replacing the front lower valance on my 69 and wanted to use their product as it is available locally.
I spoke with the tech department and they suggested using 105 epoxy resin, with 205(fast hardener) or 206(slow hardener), and then adding their 407 or 410 filler to do the final fairing.
Does this sound okay?
Anyone have hands on experience with these products?
Any help is welcome...

For your final fairing you want to use the microfibers if you need some strength with good sanding(403) and microballoons if your just filling and need easy sanding (Dont know the number offhand, think its 410).

Thanks everyone for the responses. I have purchased the West System and will bond the valance to the fenders in the next couple of days.
First I need to do some minor repairs at both corners, where the bumper bolts go through the body. Hopefully I'll get this done next weekend.
Usually I have a couple thousand miles on the vette by this time of year. But she's been sitting in the garage on stands since early March.
