[QUOTE="Backslider, post: 275626, member: 8683"] I used West System 105 resin and West System 205 hardener. I bought the pumps that screw onto the cans and they deliver metered amounts in the right proportion. It takes all the guess work out of the ratio of hardener to resin. One pump of resin and one pump of hardener and you have the right mix. I also used their epoxy rollers on a regular paint roller handle. I'd never used epoxy before. This stuff was easy to use. Just pour a puddle and roll it out. I think the pot life is around an hour. I have a 17' boat with a elevated front deck. I used 4 sheets of plywood, coated the top and bottom of each piece (after it was cut to size :wink: ) put two coats on the top side, also replaced the transom and epoxied the heck out of it too. I used a little more than one can of resin and hardener (Resin 32 oz, hardener 7 oz). The stuff keeps, so I'll use the rest on my next project. I bought it oneline from Jamestown Distributers.
