Default West epoxy question
I'm doing some repair and bonding on my bumper on a 79. Which hardner should I use? I'm using west 105 epoxy and the average south ga temp now is 98. I'm also going to cover my laminations with vette panel adhesive. Never worked with west products before so not sure how fast it sets up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

It is NOT as easy as you may think.
