I am also using Raka epoxy, very happy with it and it's much cheaper than the others. I'm using 3.2 ounce glass from Thayercraft, also a bargain.
From what I've seen, unless you're a pro like Nick and others, you can never sell one of these beauties for close to what it's worth. My kayak is worth far more to me than it ever could be to somebody else, because I built it myself. Nobody else could ever look at it the same way, and have the same appreciation. I wouldn't even want to buy a strip-built kayak, because much of the beauty is having done it myself.
Sean.
