    Hey guys –

    My source for West Systems marine epoxy here locally (Woodcraft) has dried up; they’ve jacked their prices and they’re not carrying G/Flex, which is critical for polyethylene canoes.

    I need to get about 8 oz. of G/Flex (the smallish syringes) plus some regular marine epoxy resin.

    Zach,

    I and many other boat builders use RAKA epoxy. They have a really hard-to-screw-up 2:1 mix ratio.

    Yes, call Larry at Raka, he has a good reputation and he will help you decide what you need.

    I plan on living forever, so far so good.

    Hey guys –

    I appreciate the advice on the epoxies, but I know exactly what I’m doing here, and I’ve done it before successfully.

    I had a kit from Mad River canoes- don’t know if them or Old Town supply epoxy separate but it may be worth a shot.
