: Jamestown is a very very expensive supplier. I get the awlcraft
: stuff from a local dealer who carries both automotive and marine
: finishing supplies. It was around 30% cheaper than Jamestown. So
: usage. I don't know. The clear didn't use much. I got the
: smallest quantity and I have enough to do another kayak and then
: some. Plus the last time I was there I called ahead to make sure
: they had quarts of the catalyst and the guy told me they did,
: but when I got there he wasn't there and the guy helping me
: couldn't find it. I was with my kid, she was upset, she started
: to cry... So he gave me a gallon of the catalyst for cost, which
: was just over the price of two quarts at the jobber price. So
: I"ve got enough of that for, I don't know, 6 kayaks?

Hey, the Jamestown price was just a quick check of the retail prices. All they stocked was the gallon sizes to boot. Even 30% cheaper makes it more expensive than straight epoxy. The idea about spraying epoxy in my shop just makes my nerves tingle. It IS a neat idea though and I'm sure it makes sense for a large-scale commercial boat yard. I just don't see myself ever using it.
