: Thanks for the response. Would you use the 51 or the 31 for a stripper as the
: sole product? I have been using West Systems 105 with 207 hardner) I have
: two canoes to repair as test projects (both replacing all the outer glass,
: one with 4 oz, one with six oz) and would not mind trying the product if
: there was a reasonable chance of success. For these boats, if it clouded,
: it would not be a big deal but it would have to stand shop temperatures
: which would range from 60 - 70 (well maybe 50 when I'm lazy with the wood
: and the night is cold). Important considerations would be adhesion and
: strength. I would like to use the one which mostly likely work for my next
: kayak and that would have to be clear. Also, for Richard, thanks for the
: supplier but I've been able to do better bringing it over the border from
: Montana -- significantly less than either Vancouver or Calgary.
: thanks
: don

I don't think that the 31 cure is available yet. I wouldn't do an entire project with the 51 cure. As an adhesive the 51 cure is fine but not as a coating resin. I think I'd use either MAS or West 105 with 207 for the glass work.
