Well I built most of my boat ith epoxy from fibreglast. it was average in price. like $70 for a gallon of resin and hardiner. After thy were mixed it come out to about a gallon and a half. Since it was my first boat I didn't know what to expect from the epoxy I was using. I ran short of epoxie when I had only a few more little things to do. So I picked up a little west system with slow hardener for just alittle more cost. The west system wet out the cloth better. And it seemed much harder after the cure. it turned out more like glass than plastic. the downside of this was that it wasn't as flexible as the other fibreglast stuff. I'm wondering witch is better the flex or the hard? thanks and I hope this helps Dave

PS if you do want a decent rerletivly cheap epoxy check out fibreglast.
