Paul,
A common problem. Wash the interior with TSP or strong dish soap and
water to get the release agent off. Then use the Acetone/Denatured
Alcohol. Sand and you will see the dust fly. Same problem on the motor
glider wings. The release agent is a very good wax and over that is the
plastic for the vacuum bagging.
We stick our channels for wires or whatever with superglue and the quick
set spray. Our local building stores have Gorilla Glue thin and gel in
nice sized bottles at reasonable prices. The accelerator spray for
instant setting of the glue to lock the channel in place quick is
purchased from a hobby store like Hobby Lobby.
Use flox/redux on most of the part and only use the superglue in areas
you have left free of any glue as tack points. Works on antennas and
everything.
Tape on an epoxied part is a mess to clean up. Never Use Superglue on
the Plexiglass!
For some areas we just drill a hole and use a cleco to hold parts in.
Just another hole to fill.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly

Subject: Europa-List: Sticking to fuselage interior?
Whilst fitting out the interior I'm having real problems holding
fixtures in place (whilst resin goes off) with any kind of
'tape'.Whether its masking tape,duct tape, or plastic insulating tape,
it just wants to peel off the fuselage interior. Anyone else had this
problem? Obviously I'm cleaning the surfaces with acetone before
'glueing' but the surfaces appear to have a 'greasy feel? Any ideas
please. Thanx in anticipation. Paul Munford. XS Trigear kit 625.
