: I've built 4 CLC boats. I've used both RAKA and USCOMPOSITES. Both are
: satisfactory. The RAKA is easier to use. The USCOMPOSITES takes more time
: to set up expecially at lower temperatures. The USCOMPOSITES saved a ton
: of money building three Shearwaters.

I know it's a pun, but still a good rule, find a brand of epoxy you like and stick with it.

Each epoxy brand handles somewhat differently than the others, it's awfully easy to forget and use the set up for the wrong brand. Takes too long to build these boats to mess up with that.
