Hi Hal,

I'm building up here (Canada), but also over here (Manitoba). I got my epoxy, 'glass, tape, wood flour, from Raka. www.raka.com Price seemed to be the best and service was top notch. Plywood, I used 4mm Okoume, that I purchased from Windsor Plywood for 62.00 a sheet, might be cheaper than that for you cause mine was shipped from Vancouver, to the store I bought from in Winnipeg. Unless they charge you a fortune to ship actoss the strait.

Good Luck. Welcome to the kayak building obsession!!
