Hiya Paul

How are ya doing after the big move, and having to go back to work? How's the latest project coming along?

On that cheap epoxy, will they show you some samples of it, or sell you a small sample amount to test before buying a gallon? I think I'd look into it before writing it off completely. You may have found a sleeper there, and could save some big bucks. Could be a turkey, but, might be worth a try for that price. What have you got to lose, after the price you got that plywood for? :) How close to "Free" are you on that one now? Think anyone would trade you a gallon of epoxy for a Paul Lund Kayak Kit? You cut up some of that ply and make a deal. A boat "Kit" for a gallon or two of epoxy? :)

So, are you all settled in the new house yet or still trying to find storage space for all your goodies and get it all unpacked?

Good to hear from you again.
