I have all the cut outs done ready to be stitched and glued.
In Canada the price of epoxy resin is more expensive then the United states.
I wonder how much epoxy and fiberglass tape are you anticipating you will
need to complete the D4 dinghy.
As for price I will check with US composites and RAKA. I wonder which one
has better rating? Here (Canada) the West System goes for about 128.00 CAD
per gallon plus the cost of the hardener and pumps.


have you tried looking under "plastics" in the yellow pages for a low cost
local supplier? I decided to build my boats with screwed and
polyurethane-glued chine battens instead of taped epoxy to save money, but
when I was shopping around the best price I got was from a distributer in
an industrial park.
