Q. to builders of Wet Tip tanks...

I have decided I want more fuel. There are plenty of threads why people do or don't want more fuel so I really don't want this thread to turn into that discussion.

I decided wet tip tanks is what I want. I already researched Hotel Tango tanks, but after not hearing back from the owners and the price for only 9 gallons...I decided against them. Already flying airplane, so wings are built...tuckey tanks out.. So I ordered another set of wing tips from vans and I am looking for help/advice on converting the tips into tanks.

If you have done this before or have experience in building fiberglass tanks in general I have several questions now and probably more later.

To start,
What type of fiberglass should I use to line the tanks with?
What type of epoxy is best...? I have found possibly Vinyl Ester from Spruce is best...but not sure.

If you have any documentation or details of the process I would great appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ryan
