You can order the Pygmy kit without epoxy..it's not like you have to order it and then throw out the System 3.

A hundred bucks saved is a hundred bucks to buy other things. My last boat (Cormorant using Raka) cost me about $170.

: You said that you were thinking about ordering a Pygmy Coho and using Raka
: epoxy (with their 350 hardener) rather than the System Three that comes
: standard in the Coho kit.

: That doesn't make sense to me. Raka is a good epoxy, but I understand that
: System Three is also a good epoxy. (I've used Raka but never System
: Three.) If you are already going to have the System Three on hand, I don't
: think it's worth buying extra epoxy just because it's a little thinner.
: Remember that while the thin Raka epoxy may wet out better, it will also
: run more, causing lots of drips that you will need to deal with later.
: It's a trade-off.

: You will be paying enough for the kit from Pygmy. Why pay more for different
: epoxy when you don't really need it? Save your money for something else.
