In Response To: Re: rib de-lamination (Charlie Haws)

Agree with Charlie. I've never had an epoxy repair on mine delaminate. Only seen previous Stewart polyester repairs do that and that was only once. Do it right with epoxy. I like the West system simply because I can't screw up the mix ratio that way. Patrick doesn't like it because the hardner they make cures faster than most but I buy the slower curing hardner . Not bad but their extra slow cure "Tropical" hardner has to be mixed by hand. I just use plastic cups and mark them like a measuring cup before hand.Good luck and enjoy your work on "The Best Boat Ever Built" Dave K
