Costs ten bucks. Ask for the fast hardener. Marine-tex has the filler in it already, so you can not remove it or change it. With the Sys Three kit, you have a choice of fillers, so you can experiment and see which works best. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR no affiliation with System Three, just a *very* satisfied customer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Mar 16 1999 - 06:23:46 PST
