In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Epoxy Supplier (Heather Langlois)

I used Raka, which I orered from their website, and I am very pleased, plus the price is right. Also West Six10, this is pre thickened epoxy in a tube used with a caulking gun, it proved very handy a few times. It was about $20.00 at the local West Marine store.

: Alright! Now we're talking! There is ACTUALLY sawdust on the floor
: of my garage and this kayak is definately in its first stages!

: Where do I find the epoxy I need? Doesnt appear that Home Depot is
: going to have what I need. Next choice of stores?
: Im going into Spokane today for some supplies, so I should be able
: to find it 'somewhere'.

: Almost ready to put this together on the strongback, but decided Im
: not happy with my strongback, so today I am rebuilding it anew.
: Im dealing with an unlevel garage floor, old saw horses and a
: cobbled strongback from old matierials mixed with new. Nope,
: just wont do, today its getting tore down and the strongback is
: being built as it should be, like Tom Yost does it in his pics.
: Im just frustrated with the whole garage, so I better atleast
: get one thing started off right.

: Sure does feel good to be working with the wood again! My strips
: were ripped yesterday and they all came out GREAT! Managed to
: rip exactly what I needed from just 2 boards! I cant believe how
: hard it is to find clear wood around here! It must all get
: shipped out to your guys' location because its not to be found
: 'round here. LOL.

: Gorgeous day! Wishing I was on the water....... but soon!
: Warm Smiles, ~Heather
