Re: [Paddlewise] Marine-Tex

Yeah, but  it is less messy and probably cheaper since it comes ready to use.
With straight epoxy, you need to buy the glue, hardner and microballs separately
and then do the mixing yourself.  With marinetex you just need to mix the paste
and hardner.  Also the marinetex is nice and dense - you need to do alot of
mixing to get the straight glue that dense!

I like the marinetex for scratches and holes, and the epoxy glue for laminating
or coating wood.

Good luck,

Scott
