First Time Builder question
Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2014 11:30 pm
I got the plans for my Trapper 15 earlier this month, the crazy weather only delayed the delivery by a few days. Put everything in a three ring binder and have read through several times.
Tomorrow, I borrow my buddies truck and drive to Gibsonville NC to pick up my 3 pieces of oukume plywood.
Here's where I need your collective brainpower.
Right now, it looks like Raka has the best prices on Epoxy / Fiberglass / Graphite / Hatches, but they have too many choices in the epoxy department. Thin / Medium / Thick resin, Slow / Medium / Fast / Non-Blushing cure hardener ...
I'm in Charlotte NC, my goal is to have this completed by May 17. Our average temperatures (Fahrenheit) in March average from the mid 30's to the mid 60's, in April from the mid 40's to the mid 70's. Spring temperatures here are about as predictable as a teenage girl's mood, with several days in the 70s, followed by a week of freezing.
I'll be building this boat in an un-heated garage, and would love to read your opinion on what combination epoxy resin / hardener I should get, an why?
Thanks in advance!
