: Hi guys. Can't wait to get to fill coat but I have a first time
: builder question; Is there a preferred brand of epoxy that is
: really user friendly, can tolerate 65-68 degree cellar temp and
: I can apply solo without freaking out too much?
: Also, can you suggest a good source for 4,6oz. E-glass? What weave?
: I'm glassing the hull and would love to know how you protect the
: sheer strip cove from resin.
: You guys are my mentors and with all the knowledge I've gained from
: this forum I'm still nervous. Who wouldn't be right?
: Thanks,Jim Schaffer

I guess I'm the hold out, I still use West epoxy 105/207. I like it, doesn't blush and I find it very easy to use. Also has by far the best instructions of any epoxy on the market.
