In Response To: Material: epoxy/fg sources (george jung)

: I'm approaching 'fiberglass and epoxy' time on my Storm LT - and I know this
: has been discussed a hundred times. For some reason, I'm not finding much
: searching the archives.

: Recommendations for Epoxy and fiberglass - both type and sources? I seem to
: recall Raka was recommeneded, as well as West Systems. 4 ounce e for the
: deck, in and out; 6 ounce for the hull, plus an abrasion patch on the
: football. Any/all help appreciated.

I always use West System's resins with their special coating hardener, no blushing ever and is very reliable. Also not inexpensive.

I've recently been using glass, 3.2 ounce tight weave, from Thayercraft Industries (they are on the web) best prices I've seen anywhere and the stuff wets out perfectly clear, even up close.
