Building rudder

JB Weld slow dry works very well... Weird, somehow I ended up on top of your post???

Does anyone know of any epoxy type product that would work on the trailing edge of the rudder other than fuel tank sealer. Hoping to find something locally.

We've done many using the slow dry and I think it actually works better than proseal.

Yes Sir and you do not need a lot. Main thing is to be ready to work. Clamp the wedge in place and use tape on the side you will install your 90 degree angle for as a straight edge so not to make a mess and also not to epoxy the angle to your rudder. Just a very light smear is all you need. One dry, you can prep for final riveting.

Ok thanks, I be trying this on the weekend. It says cures in 24 hours, so I would think that is long enough to wait for riveting.
