West Systems Epoxy?

[Farrell]

Ditto what Del says. Most any good marine supply store has West System epoxy
and additives. I just want to stress that in addition to their resin, it is
their powdered additives that allow so many great uses. I find many folks
that use West System epoxy, but have not used any of the additives. These
are what makes the West System so versatile. These range from gap filling,
to hi-strength, hi-density, low-density, fillet, to super-easy-to-sand
fillers. I have used their microballoons a number of times to fair a
surface - WOW, what a beautifully flat surface you can get with that stuff
and it is so easy to sand. I have faired many boat hulls with that stuff. I
haven't used it yet, but one on these days on an ebony job that needs some
fairing, it will be my pick. Their web site tells all the properties of
their various additives. Great stuff.
