Especially to 2.2lb Rohacell. Most F1D flyers use 3thou boron and Duco cement.
They send it through the Ray Harlan  cement cup. No one uses epoxy resins, they
are just too heavy. Steve Brown, 3-time World champ uses Duco exclusively and he
doesn't send his components through autoclaves either. Case closed!

Agreed. However plenty of uniform pressure is needed to make it adhere properly
to something like Rohacell; I had a try some time back and that I believe is
where it went wrong.

I think that's correct.

'If I am right then it is inferior.'

Inferior to what? And, for what reason?

If it works well on the F1D components we're dealing with, it can't be inferior.
