[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 451836, member: 15465"] Not sure what you mean by patching with epoxy, I assume you mean using epoxy as a sealer/glue for a metal patch (as opposed to a saturated mat patch). If you are putting in a metal patch, 3M5200 would be a better choice because it will flex. I use pop rivets & coat the ends with 5200 so they seal well. Having patches on both sides of hole would be pretty strong. You might want to google homemade CPES (wood sealer) which is just epoxy resin thinned with xylol about 25% Good luck! [/QUOTE]
