I'd want to know the use of the resin - 'WTF are your trying to do?' From there one might get an idea. I tend to use products made by major suppliers and either known by me or a trusted friend to be a good product. Curing time, allergic reaction, hardness, temperature sensitivity, adhesion to materials and several other factors are considered.

Techniques used are those proven and have previous testing/experience. All of this is combined to make a good guess at something with the hope I got everything right and won't need to redeaux the project. MANY times a prototype is built just to get a technique right or test a theory on method or strength of doing a project.

But, then again, I'd rather not do a job or project than get someone hurt or killed. I err on the side of sanity and tend to respect the success, and failures, of others as a guide.

Ron,
You have good point abot epoxy if mounting blades to a hub with epoxy, or glueing the genny to the tower 100' up, neither would I do with expoxy though of course.

BUT when all you want to do is shed direct rain to keep water out, WHO CARES??
Heck wrap an inner tube around it and hold in place with large hose clamps, not like it's any saftey issue!
.
nothing to lose

Spelin and tpying are my strong points, not electronics.
