Over last 24hrs, I have developed serious plans to build Lala (JW
23.5' centerboarder) Either Irens. A variety of tris, and projects
like the proa and so forth are still there.
I'm having such fun with my cat BassAckwards, that I am planing a
developed ply 20 footer, or maybe just a bxxb job for the current one.
If I had enough money and strength I could really get started. I
even cleaned the shop.
Yeah, I was happy enough with the Epoxyproducts 'Basic Blushless'. The info found later
about it being a bit brittle didn't seem to apply, at least not on the Mouseboat scale. I
had trouble brushing on a smooth coating when the temp was over 90, but that was probably
more my technique than the stuff's.
Progressive's top 'o the line epoxy, 'Bio Seal 192' is claimed to be not Hazardous
Material, so that might make the international shipping easier, read cheaper.
http://www.epoxyproducts.com/mproducts.html#Bio%20Seal%20192
But with shipping inside the US it probably comes to $75 a gallon, so Raka is probably
still less expensive, as well as proven and reliable.

I guess I should write RAKA about my UPS issue. On one part of their
site they say Can order are by UPS, and elesewhere they say they can
ship PO, I will have to explore this further.
Mark has tried the epoxyproducts folks, and is well pleased, so that
is another option.

Mark has tried the epoxyproducts folks, and is well pleased, so that
is another option.
