Hello everyone! I have been lurking on this board with much interest since last fall when I began working on a Pygmy Coho kit.

I just got the hull fully stitched. So far I have been pleased with the results, but... Last night I began to glue the seams. The Pygmy instructions call for first using unthickened epoxy, followed by epoxy thickened with wood flour to the consistency of honey to fill in any gaps. I have two concerns:

1. How much wood flour is required to acheive a honey-like consistency? What seemed to me to be pretty thick in the mixing cup proves very runny on the hull. I have runs out of the seams down along many of the stitches.

2. The bigger problem is that not only is the thickened epoxy runny, it is also extremely foamy. This does not strike me as a good thing. I have epoxy hardening right now in my seams which appears to be mostly air bubbles. I can't image this can be very strong - or safe. Did I mix the stuff incorrectly? Is this fixable or do I now have a large planter?
