Hi Ray;

I have built a Pygmy Coho and an Arctic Tern 14. It is best to follow the instructions in the manual about the consistencies of the resin/wood flour mix.
Later on in the process they will ask you to mix it to the thickness of peanut butter. Usually when they want you to mix it to the viscosity of honey you are going to apply it with a dental syringe and if it is really thick its really hard to use the syringe.

I don't want to contradict anyone, this is just my opinion based on my limited experience.

Good luck, it should be a great building experience.

Mark
