Josh:
Can't reply on the CLC 17 since I built a Guillemot Double strip. But in regards to RAKA Epoxies, why do you need it locally? With UPS I had my epoxy and glass in 3-4 days. They have great service (not to mention price)and you will have way before you need it for glassing. But you'll probably need it for scarfing joints. If you're making paddles, seat backs, etc, you'll need some extra. Also the shelf life is quite long and you may use it for other projects.

Just make sure to buy some extra like I didn't. You don't want to get caught short right at the end of your glassing. Talk about making it feel like a long time waiting to get more!!!
