Ain't it frustrating that you can make a beautiful boat over many weeks, then screw it up in only a couple of hours? The good part is that not many others will notice -- they'll think the boat is outstanding. And cosmetic defects don't detract from the paddling experience if you don't let them...

: After many trials with a former epoxy clouding, I switched to the Raka epoxy.
: I applied it today as a second coat on my Wee Lassie II. My dad and I
: mixed up 300 ml and used sponge brushes to apply it. We were surprised
: that even though the epoxy was quite thin, there was very little running.
: There also was no (YEAH!) clouding. We finished with about 60-70 ml left
: over. Oregon temp was 77' and sunny.

: So anyone that sees this boat when its done please be kind about the cloudy
: spots. They are the building wounds of months of frustrating work and
: rework.
