I am planning on doing a bottom job, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a specific West System kit or amount to adequately reinforce both hulls. I am not really sure how much material/resin comes in these kits and I would rather do one ordering list. |

Va...I would not recommend using West Systems Epoxy for a bottom job. A quart of Vinylester resin (a high grade polyester type) should be enough. Depending on how worn down the hulls are you may need 45' - 50' of 1" wide fiberglass tape. If you take a look at the 2008 Sept / Oct issue of the HOTLINE magazine ( http://www.hobiecat.com/hobieclass/eHCA ... 0_2008.pdf ) there is an article on bottom jobs which may be of help. |
