Question from an epoxy nubey

Post by bowgarguide »

Ok after ten boats I am going to build one using epoxy,
If I use US composites slow hardner for the boat can I chang to a fast hardner for the filets
to speed them up?

I am plenty spoiled to doing two or three processes in a day I think its going to drive me crazy watching epoxy dry

I use the 635/556 combo--which is the slow, non blushing 2 to 1 mix for laminating. For the glue and goopie I use the 1 to 1 thick mix. The thick mix is much faster, though it will still take some hours to harden.
