In Response To: Epoxy: wet out questions (Rob b)

Nothing beats having a helper when you wet out hull glassing. One can constantly mix while the other is spreading or rolling.

I usually mix about a half cup at a time when I wet out with medium speed hardner. I pre heat my epoxy a bit so it's pretty thin. I like spreading because I can literally dump the container of mixed epoxy and spread it aroung quickly. Plus with thismethod, I never get dry or white spots that some people post about and I go on to bare wood which is my personal choice from experience.
