: I am working on a Skin on frame kayak using coverlight for the
: fabric skin. Where do I purchase the vinyl cement for gluing the
: deck to the hull? I have found HH-66 vinyl cement online, but
: the shipping is a killer. The material is $7.00 or so and the
: shipping is over $10. What type of store would carry this
: locally? I haven't been able to find an upholstry dealer
: locally. SE Minnesota.

: Also, do you generally order West System Epoxy or is it easy enough
: to find locally? Nobody carries it within an hour of my home.

HH-66, I found it at a Canvas Products/awning shop. I also collected a handful of places to buy it online:

For epoxy, I'm lucky enough to have Sweet Composites + CLC Boats locally (plus a ton of marine places). I bought my epoxy from Sweet Composites.
