Very Nice s/gerald,
I really like the wood tones/colors/pattern on your latest creation. Nice job. And I'm glad that the US Comp epoxy has worked well for you. Have you ever used their medium hardener? Have you used other brands of epoxy? What sort of differences/similarities do you see? I just realized that it was not very appropriate for me to say any bad things about the US Comp epoxy, when I've only mixed a few batches. My impressions that I explained in response to Jase were just gut reactions and a slight bubbling problem that I experienced. I did not mean to step on any feet or degrade the epoxy you use. If you've used it on several boats with great success, then that's good enough for me. Sorry if I was out of line. Hopefully with more experience with this stuff, I'll be adding it to my list of materials and use more of it in the future. The price just can't be beat and they seem like they have great customer service.

Now, let's hear more about the S&G playboat that's on your site. Any more pictures? Is this one also something that you designed. If so, how?
Take care,
Smf
