et23,
What type of resin did you use/ or is reccomended with the coosa?

I used RAKA epoxy resin. Pretty decent price, others have recommended other varieties which I am sure are good and competitively priced. Raka did not blush to bad, no smell and you can put another application on once it sets to the point it is not tacky. Real easy people to work and they had all supplies.
I talked to the guys a Coosa and they told me to treat it just like plywood as fair as resins and sawing.

If I understand.. you were able to hot bond layers after it lost its tack? That must be good stuff. usually you either have to wait for other resins to cure, wipe with wax remover or acetone and abbrade and add a layer or put another layer on immediatly while it is still tacky.

I looked up there website and called them before I ordered it. The folks there said you can wet an area out, add a layer of glass impregnated with epoxy and let tack and add another layer. I have had good luck with this. Another member has an epoxy product that can also be hot coated. I think the website is US Plastics, they have good prices too. I was referred to Raka by a member as I had always used West System which blushed alot. Look around the website and you can find several recommendations on resins. Member Strick used polyester on his 20 for the most part and seemed to have good results and saved alot of money.
