Agree with you Curapa. Not going into debating epoxy vs. PE VE. If PE or VE just know that the surface prep needs to be 100% as they lack the adhesion properties of epoxy. Rough the hull up with some 36 grit to aid in the mechanical bond. I purchased a 5 gallon kit of putty, and have seen others do the same with great success. Mixing the hardener in with the putty in small batches will give you some idea of your work time. Large batches take longer to mix and have a exothermic reaction that tends to harden faster so getting it spread out fast is the ticket. I know all too well about throwing out resin/putty that kicked in the bucket. Frustrating. All you can do is drop the pail and grab another.

Good exchange of info in this thread. I'd be interested to hear what Skools Out thinks about the stringer issue.
Looking good Kracker Jack, keep it up.

I second that Bradford. He tells it like it is. Where has he been anyway?

I just got a message from Skools yesterday. He has been keeping busy with other things and just hasn't had time to get on the computer.
