In Response To: Epoxy: Blush?? (Andrew Smith)

Hello Andrew,

I have been monitoring this bulletin board for some time and have since started on a kayak myself (Guillemot Great Auk). I am a displaced Maritimer (from N.S.) but am now in Ontario so your email address caught my attention. You will note that we kept our old email......

I am at the point of glassing the vessel and am about to order epoxy. I have been seriously considering EAST system epoxy (want to keep the $$'s down home) but your message raises some flags. I recall from an earlier post that EAST has performed well and the Vaclav Epoxy Test also gave it acceptable marks.

What was your experience in mixing, working time and application and more importantly woud you use it again?

Your comments appreciated

cheers

richard
