Default Need a new 2-4 hp outboard - must be 2 stroke - what's availableoutside California

Lew,
There are really only two things that fit the catagory.
That would be rollers and fillet shapers.
As most of my rollers that get wet - the straight kind are used for bag
jobs only - are the radius kind, they are relatively expensive at
8-10$us. I can clean them in a couple of minutes.
The fillet shapers that I use most, I cut to radius from 1/8UHMW sheet
then either radius or thin the edge by hand for the specific
application. The harder edge for structural fillets of highly filled
mix and the more flexible for finish fillets with soft filler. As both
of these take 10-15 miutes to make (finish 4 corners of a 4 or 6 inch
square), and clean almost instantly. I figure it is worth doing -
partiularly as the soft fill is often too flexible to come off the
radius tool easily.

Just curious, what do you consider special/expensive tools for working with
epoxy?
