: For me it's kind of different, I spread the epoxy with a brush, for

: it's the way I've done it for lots of years might not be the
: ideal for you. I use the squeegie afterwards to remove excess
: epoxy but there generally isn't much. I learned using polyester
: resin, you have to move really fast working in the summer's
: heat, don't have the time to play around with a squeegie when
: you've only got 10 or so minutes to spread a half gallon of
: resin.

: Btw, we used to buy the polyester resin in 55 gallon drums, no
: small mixes when you're pouring it from a drum cock. We used
: milk jugs too, except we cut a portion of the jug away to make
: nice pots for the resin, half gallon at a time. Doing it that
: way you learn to make friends with families with small kids,
: they go thru alot of milk :)

Hi Bill:
I was looking at the Sea Bee SOF (my next build???) and a came across a Bill Hamm from Macheseny Park, IL.
Since forum members are from all over the world, if this is you, we are almost neighbors. I live near Lake Geneva, WI
and paddle there and up in Door County. Just curious.
