: Glad it worked out. But I don't think I'm quite getting all this.
: Is everyone really slathering on too much epoxy, then removing
: and throwing away the excess, as standard operating procedure?

: I believe I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, mostly because what
: I do works well for me. I have never used rollers (although I
: tried one .... once). I use disposable brushes to handle the goo
: between mixing cup and destination, and (credit cards as)
: squeegees to work it. I get few drips, and only very seldom
: throw any epoxy away.

: In short, I pretend like epoxy is the single most expensive
: ingredient in building homemade boats................

interesting approach, and one I also follow. I bought a 3 gallon RAKA kit, and it's been enough for three boats.
