In Response To: Epoxy: Anyone know about these brands??? (Gennie)

: Hi!

: I have found a local surfboardmanufacturer who will sell epoxy at very
: reasonable prices.

: I find this guy trustworthy as I know he has been building boards for 25
: years, but would still like to know from someone who have used the
: products on wood.

Though I've never heard of the stuff, your trustworthy surfboardmanufacturer should have no problem letting you test a batch on a swatch...just as everyone suggests...TEST IT ON A SWATCH WITH FIBERGLASS. Then, paint it as you would your boat.

You don't seem to mind sanding the whole lot off of your boat if you don't like it, but that opens up the possibility that you'll wreck the hull by sanding through it...

Dynel is tough for paddle edges. *Pic*
