In Response To: Epoxy: polyester for paddle (Brad Farr)

I 2nd Brian's thoughts below, used polyester on a bunch of pirogues years ago. Now to be fair, I used them pretty hard, but they all had de-lam probs later.

I've also used the $20quartkit Lowe's/HomeDepot marine epoxy too, great for small jobs like yours. My brand mixed 50/50, worked very well.
