. Once the boat was sanded out,
: the joints were nice and tight. I finished the boat with two
: layers of 3.25 oz. satin glass from Raka, and the boat has
: proved to be very durable with the resulting high glass/epoxy
: ratio. It weighs 34 pounds, with bulkhead hatches, foam footpegs
: (on the front bulkhead), and a Joe Greenley seat. I'm very
: pleased with the boat. Have fun with your build, treat epoxy
: like it's (as Kurt says) about 15 billion bucks a gallon, to
: save weight, and you'll be fine.

Wow! Great answer. I think I may do exactly what you did. I have learned the hard way to use epoxy as you described. Now to do some more research.
