In Response To: Material: Update on Spectra (Johnathan Akers)

: Update on information I've gathered: - I talked to West Systems about the G
: Flex.
: ~Johnathan

I have used G-Flex for end pours on my last two kayaks, as it is pre-thickened and sticks to fully cured epoxy that I can't reach to roughen up. I have found that it flows easily, sets up quickly, and cures down to 40 degrees, but have not tried wetting out cloth with it. It's also pretty expensive. -Wes
