2 part epoxy

[enjoi_madness]

Can anyone give me a list of commonly used (that work) 2 part epoxy's. I'd like to know the cheap and the expensive. My buddy's dad owns a lumberyard and he says that he can order me the stuff at wholesale prices. I just need the names so i can look up SKU's and maybe i can even pass on the savings to all the MFKers here.

sherwin williams makes a product called Tank Clad, but is a little pricey. ive had success with "baby-safe" tub and tile 2 part epoxy's and they are alot cheaper.

will 2 part apoxy flex with the plwood as it bows? or will it crack?

one of these would probably be the best, sweet water is great for the price

I've had good experience with WestSystem Epoxy, 105 resin and 206 slow hardener. It's not inexpensive though. I buy 32 oz of resin at a time. At least it lasts a long time in storage.

In regards to flex, it doesn't flex much, and really shouldn't flex at all, but then your plywood should not be flexing that much either ;~).

It doesnt get much cheaper than "bondo" fiberglass resin, 25 bucks a gallon, availble in menards or home depot, or ace stores automotive department, i even bought a patch kit that came with some fiberglass cloth to make all corners stronger.

no flex to bondo, i put some on a test piece, flexed it, it busted and cracked instantly

Great post. I still believe that you "get what you pay for." Enjoi_madness, you're in Fresno. Then you have been to Whities. What do you think of that place? We have fish from there that are thriving!
I digress: use the resin.
