: So it sounds like 3 gallons would be more than plenty. I like the

: your experience with the Eco stuff and maybe seeing a picture of
: what you've done with it. I think it was one of your posts a
: while back that got me thinking about using it...

No matter what epoxy you use, I'd highly recommend stopping by a marine supplier and find West brand resin's safety booklet, which usually is free. Read it and follow it.

You are allowed zero contact with uncured epoxy to be safe and a full cure takes some time, much more than the time it takes to set.
