I just completed glasing the hull of a Mill Creek 16.5.  I'm now at the stage where I will be installing the four deck sections.  My boat came with the MAS #2 kit and I just opened the second container of resin this afternoon.  I do admit that I also used two (or was it three) tubes of West Six-10 epoxy for scarfs and fillets.  With this much resin left, I think I will have extra.

I don't know about other boats but I built a 16 Lt adn  17LT and had epoxy left over from both.

My first kayak was a CLC Shearwater 17 and I had to buy more resin and hardener. My next two boats, one of which is similar to but slightly larger than the Shearwater, used a lot less epoxy. It also came in four pounds lighter. I think that the kits provide enough resin for an experienced builder, but that beginners tend to use too much. On that first boat, I repeatedly mixed up too much per batch; made my fillets too big; laid on too many coats of resin; and had to remove improperly mixed resin. Part of the problem was wildly inaccurate pumps - I now pour the resin and hardener into small measuring cups and on my latest build, had less than two ounces of resin left when I ran out of hardener. The instructions also encourage overuse of resin. This may be a CYA approach, but experienced builders don't fill the cloth weave inside the boat and use much smaller fillets and end pours. -Wes

I'm a first time builder and I will probably have to get more resin/hardener to complete my Wherry, not a whole lot more though, a quart should do it. I had some waste but not an excessive amount ... I think. Then again, I also had to get some more cell-o-fil so maybe I am using too much. It will be interesting to see what it weighs in at when done.

Thanks for all the feedback. I never miss by much, so I guess it boils down to experience, size of fillets etc.

Happy Paddling to all
