I don't think it sounds that scary Raka Our best selling hardeners are the 610 which is very fast curing and the 606 which is slow curing. They are mixed at a ratio of two parts resin to one part hardener. The two to one ratio epoxies are probably the most popular because they give a good compromise...

To the best of my knowledge, marine epoxies don't contain solvents and thus during the curing process don't give off vapors, let alone hazardous gases or even airborne dust particles (fumes). Inhalation hazards are often associated with heavy metals such as chrome, lead, arsenic, etc but there are n...

Even with five people (two who never stop moving) in the canoe I never had the feeling that we were going to tip. But the Redbird is not as s...

Why wouldn't you just go to an 8 oz or 10 oz cloth? I am not sure why one would need two layers of 6 oz cloth on a 1/4 hull but if strength is what you are after and the double installation is a concern, why not just up your weave? Either way you do it, that is a lot of epoxy that you are going to n...

Have you tried McMaster Carr? http://www.mcmaster.com/
Just for kicks I searched left handed Acme nuts and they had them in 5/8" for two different TPI and I could them in either in brass, steel or zinc plated.

CSI Bear Mountain The Bondo could have been installed by some one other than the originator; someone, not as familiar with the process. The bondo could have been placed on by the original craftsman who did not yet have the epoxy. It looks like the whole processed stopped just before the glassing. Yo...
