I figgr'd you'd be better off getting all the bad news at once, so here goes: I don't think you'll be able to stretch 2 kayaks out of 3 gallons of epoxy. My Outer Island has gone through a good 2 gal of the 3 gal kit I ordered, although I've wasted some by making batches that were too big. I really need to get some smaller measuring cups for the little jobs -- the smallest batch I mix is about 4 oz., less than that, and I'm leery that I won't get the ratio right. So far the only batch that didn't cure was a small one.

If you can do it, though, you da man!

: So I ordered my Merganser plans a few weeks back and they came in good time.
: NO problem there.

: Then I place a $250 order from Raka for glass and epoxy, etc. and they manage
: to mess my address up and the package gets returned to them in Florida
: since it goes to a wrong address that won't accept the box. Finally got it
: last Friday I think. Bunch of glass and tape and 3 gallon epoxy kit that
: will hopefully last through 2 S&Gs.

: Now I also ordered wood from Noahs at the same time as the Raka order.
: Supposed to arrive last wednesday. Didn't see anything as of yesterday -
: call them and it seems the delivery service wasn't able to leave it or
: whatever and didn't leave a note and also apparently had my wrong phone
: number to try and find me. In fact, Noahs also wrote down the wrong
: number.

: Aiigh!!!! Lets say my SO is getting a bit miffed by all this and is
: considering a plastic tupperware boat now. Just kidding on that but she
: has been bummed not to be building with all these crappy April showers
: that just keep happening. We still haven't gotten the wood although its
: being tracked down. Hope to get the panels marked and cut by the weekend
: so that perhaps we can be stitching the hull by Easter.

: Have fun building and let me know if anybody has a similar building material
: delivery problem so I can feel a bit better atleast.

: PS. Hope all the problems are not a sign.....
