Don't mean to open a can-o-worms but I gotta ask.....why epoxy instead of the much cheaper poly resin? I have built four s&g kayaks using top dollar epoxy and think I might try using the poy resin for my next project. Doesn't make sense that nearly all production boats are made using poly resin not epoxy, but yet most home builders all use the high dollar epoxy. comments.........

Not worms, just an old topic.
