EEEEPOXY HELP!

[Smtred]

I'm looking to buy some Epoxy and have a hook up at Sherman Williams Paints for about 30% off any order. Their Epoxy selection confuses me and I was hoping someone here could look through it that knew what to look for and see if they had epoxy that will work for my rebuild.

Uhmmm, I'm afraid ALL of their products are designed for coating things like Wood, Steel and Concrete. I'm not sure it would be appropriate for wetting out fiberglass but...I'm just an Old Dumb Okie and NOT, I repeat NOT an Epoxy expert. Our resident expert on Resin is "ondarvr". He might stop by, or...you could send him a PM and ask for his advice.

First of all, what are you trying to use the epoxy for? Could you post your project so we can see what you're dealing with. If it is not a boat, post pictures anyways for others to try and help...

Thanks Wood I'll try to reach him. I think your probably right but for the sake of savings I figured I would ask.

He has a project...http://forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-...w-boater/page4

This is a perfect example of why the forum rules and guidlines tell everyone to keep their posts in ONE thread so members don't get confused.

Sorry, http://forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-repair-and-restoration/boat-restoration-building-and-hull-repair/9087473-78-columbian-floor-replacement-brand-new-boater/page4 This should take your to my rebuild thread. I'm just glassing my transom stinger and floor. Will be picking up a bunch of 1708 along with epoxy.

You need a general purpose laminating resin, I don't believe SW Industrial carries that, they are a specialty coatings supplier, like WOG said....you could always call them tho, they are very helpful.
