: This is a two part question
: 1. I am sure it has been debated to no end on this site but I haven't been
: able to find any threads. I am wondering what the best epoxy is and why.
: This is my first experience using epoxy so I have no point of reference.
: West is readily available near where I live but I have read lots of good
: things about Raka on this page. Please help as it is now time to order my
: epoxy and glass.

: 2. I am building a Guillemot and was thinking about trying to cover the
: entire cockpit recess and coaming with carbon fibre and then regular glass
: over the whole thing. My reasoning for doing this is mainly cosmetic ( I
: think it will look cool and I am not completely happy with how the recess
: turned out) the other reason is that I am not a small guy (6'4"
: 240lbs.) and a bit of extra strength would probobly be good. Has anyone
: done this before? Pics would be great. Am I going to have a hard time
: making the carbon conform to the coaming lip?

: Thanks for the help,
: JJ
