[Rhodes22-list] Need to replace Hatch

[Ron Singerman]

Greg,

IMHO I have found that the use of epoxy resin works better than polyester 
for your purposes. The adhesion to the plywood will be far superior and 
shelf life of the resin is much longer with the epoxy. If you Google "Don 
Casey Tip # 29" he'll give you his opinion.

Fair winds,
