and (or) milled glass fibre. Hysol 9462 does not require these items)

Silicone Adhesive
(Silastic, optional for canopy)
We use Hysol 9642 in all areas where epoxy was required, during the build for this manual.
For surface cleaning we recommend old fashioned liquid lighter fluid such as “Ronsonol”. Do not use acetone for
cleaning the external painted surfaces, damage to the paint could occur. (If in doubt, test on a small area that will
not be seen).
