Just wondering what a good brand of epoxy to use. I am doing some repair work and have never worked with epoxy until I used some epoxy from ding-all and it turned orange as soon as a added part b. Then, on top of that, it took two days to cure.

Epoxy typically takes 7 days at 77F to cure out fully. It goes into a “B” stage that can either be brittle or flexible while it is curing. You want brittle so it is easy to sand (but will spyder crack easy). Also the SB112 is clear, has UV additives to help prevent (not stop) yellowing and cures without any blush. To speed up cure apply heat. Cure time will be cut in half with every 18F you go up in temp. Also, make sure you measure correctly (by weight if scale is available) and mix the crap out of the material. http://www.fiberglasssupply.com/Product_Catalog/Epoxy/epoxy.html
Chris, Fiberlay.com also sells system three sb-112, you can also go to systemthree.com and download info and ask the company reps questions they are helpful and full of answers. I have glassed boards using sb-112 and it works great, but it is exspensive. later D
