I rarely work without a headsock haha.

99% of it is RAKA epoxy. Ill make some things out of regular poly or lay up some solid glass backing plates but thats about it. Esters and gelcoat is like a foreign language to me honestly, was trained in the one-off epoxy realm.

The livewell and bilge paint is some Sherwin Williams tile-clad. They mix it into matterhorn for me. I just added a blue pigment to the livewell mix.

Putty is just thickened epoxy. Different fillers for different purposes. Fairing mix is like a 1.5:1:0.5 of cabosil, microballoons, and glass bubbles. I mix by feel...
