: I, too, built a Tern with the included System III epoxy, and it went pretty
: well except for some of the butt-joints which are a bit yellowish -- the
: same minute trapped air bubbles, I think. I used Raka epoxy on my Outer
: Island and was very happy with it. It's thinner, so it wets out glass
: better and lets air bubbles out easier. Not much help now, just some tips
: for your NEXT boat...;-)

hi Dean,

raka sounnd like the hot wet out resin, but what happens on the vertical surfaces and can you lay out multiple layers of glass at once?

Does it work ok or do you have to thi(xotrope)cken it?
