I am getting to the end of my first S & G kit and have a few questions for the construction gods. You know who you are so don't be shy. What determines the weight of fiberglass cloth? Say 4 oz verses 6 oz. Is there a good substitute for wood flour? Why doesn't epoxy bond to older epoxy (say > 3 days old) unless it has been lightly sanded first? Why does slow cure epoxy create a stronger bond than 5 minute epoxy? I am considering either the Pygmy Coho or Arctic Tern as my next kit. It will be a day boat & weekend camping boat. Opinions as to how appropriate these boats are for these activities?
