May be a price difference, who knows. You or LIW or Too Tall the Neanderthal would know glassin' far better than me, I just know I had good luck as an absolute newbie with the West Marine stuff. it even sticks to concrete floors pretty well LMFAO Post Extras:       lying_in_wait member Reged: 12/14/05 Posts: 1637 Loc: Choot 'Em! Re: Fiberglass and Resin for Foam Boat [Re: Scout 1]       #226490 - 02/11/12 12:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   West System is one of the best, I have used it in the past on a few projects. You might also take a look at MAS Epoxies. The MAS line is right on par with West System and some people even say it's better. I used it on my last boat and will use it on my next one too. It is priced a little bit less than West System, so that helped with my decision. Boater's World still had a store in KC when I did mine, so I didn't have to pay for shipping and that's what influenced my decision the most. You will get charged a haz-mat fee when shipping epoxy, so your best bet is to see what's available locally before going the mail order route, or search for a supplier who offers free shipping or will eat the haz-mat fee. -------------------- Shawn Wheaton Missouri Waterfowl Association Westside Chapter Chairman Post Extras:       Muggs member Reged: 12/19/05 Posts: 511 Loc: Okieland Re: Fiberglass and Resin for Foam Boat [Re: lying_in_wait]       #226537 - 02/13/12 01:44 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Thanks for the info.
