Well it would be nice if we knew what you were going to do with the resin and the glass.

I'm just sayin...

sorry about that, i will be building up the hull where some of the layers have come off due to soaked foam, and also i am redecking the boat, and i will be fiberglassing both sides. also i will be fiberglassing the new stringers. thanks

Re: thin or thick epoxy

I would recommend the Medium Epoxy resin kit. Ket the Pump kit too. It is really worth it when it comes to mixing it correctly. For your hull and stringer I would use 1708 biax. For the deck I would use 6oz Eglass.

I'm just sayin...

Re: thin or thick epoxy

ok i just ordered the thin medium epoxy resin, the 1708 for the hull and the stringers, and the 6oz eglass for the deck, how many layers should I do the deck and the stringers in. I was thinking 1 layer on bottom of deck and 2 layers on the top of deck and 2 layers for the stringers. thanks
