Don't know I think the gallon packages are a lot easier to work with, probably more shipping, can't remember how many boxes I had, still I would prefer the gallon packages, Do they give package options now?topwater wrote:Jeff that would have come in handy when i ordered the 30 gallons i used on my boat

Re: FS 17 - Raised Sheer
With the 5 gallon jug I plan to just use it to keep refilling the 1 gallon jug I put a pump in. As long as you have 1 of the single gallon bottles I don't think the big one is a problem. If it was just the 5 gallon, it would be unwieldy.
Re: FS 17 - Raised Sheer
Joe2700, perfect!! We never send a five gallon container unless there is also a one gallon container to work from!!! Jeff
Re: FS 17 - Raised Sheer
An album of some progress from today:
The temp last night dropped as low as 50 but no lower, which is right at the minimum for the gelmagic. It cured enough to get the transom up off the floor which might help, since the floor is cooler.

I have the garage cooking up to about 90 before I leave for dinner, hoping the bottoms are dry enough to flip and do the other sides when I get home. Also maybe that will get the gelmagic from yesterday to finally finish curing, the stuff takes much longer than the epoxy, it's still gummy.

Re: FS 17 - Raised Sheer
I have used a lot of Gel Magic on my build and really like it. I have used the slow hardener but if I were to start over I'd go with the regular. Waiting for the slow to set up has delayed my progress a few times. Enjoy your build!
Re: FS 17 - Raised Sheer
Is there fast and slow gelmagic hardener or are you talking about the laminating resin? I was wondering because the gel magic I got has a slow sticker on it but there was no fast option when I bought it and I can't find any mention of speeds on the system 3 website.willg wrote:I have used a lot of Gel Magic on my build and really like it.

I am using the fast laminating resin, not a hard choice up here. I can just open the door if I need more working time.
