Long time gone..

I haven't touched the boat since I glued the deck beam together, but today, I put in an order with the fine folks at Fiberglass Supply for the cloth and epoxy and other stuff. Their prices are the best on the web, and they supply Allen with his materials. They know what they're doing. You're not going to find nicer folks, better prices, or better stock - it's cheaper by far than ordering the glass and glue from CLC, for example. On recommendation from Allen, who's mixed untold gallons of epoxy of all kinds in his life, I went with the Resin Research product with a fast hardener so I won't have to wait around forever in this miserable upper-60 degree sunny February weather for the glue to cure.

In case it helps, here's my supply list, with cat numbers from Fiberglass Supply. You may notice I ordered waaay to much epoxy for one boat ( I ordered a 3 gallon kit). The extra is for Crescent to use when she builds her boat. I also ordered a couple yards of peel ply. Allen says it's easy to make really nice fillets with it.
