The
epoxy-fiberglass kits do not include the plans or the plywood!
VG20 Epoxy-Fiberglass Kit.
The kits include all the epoxy and fiberglass listed in our Bill Of Materials.
Our MarinEpoxy Resin is a high performance marine resin specially formulated for
our building method. It has a low viscosity and is ideal for fiberglass lamination.
It wets the fiberglass evenly and fast. The mixing ratio is simple: one volume
of hardener for two volumes of resin.
To
make putty and glue, mix the resin with the fillers supplied in the kit. Add
filler to reach a ketchup like viscosity for glue, add more fillers to a peanut
butter consistency for fillets and putty. Your kit includes printed instructions
explaining how to use resin and fiberglass and more information and tips can
be found at our technical support web site bateau2.com.
No
need to search all around town or to compare prices with generic epoxies: our
kits prices are lower and include shipping in the US!
Here
is what is included:
System
Three kits:
For those who prefer a brand name epoxy resin, we offer the option of a System
Three kit. The content of that kit is exactly the same as our standard kit.
We can also supply, on request, a kit based on WEST System resins.
More
supplies, refills and custom kits:
Our kits contain enough resin and fiberglass to completely finish your boat.
The quantities are based not only on our BOM calculations but also on years
of experience and feedback from our builders. In many cases, we supply too much
resin because it is more economical to buy a large quantity. We also include
a 15% waste and you should not run out of resin, However, first time builders
may need more resin. Some may want to fiberglass more than what we specify
or double the layers. In those cases, more resin may be needed. We sell extra
resin and hardener separately at our online store BoatBuilderCentral.com
At BoatBuilderCentral.com
you will also find accessories, tools, paint and
everything that you may need to customize your kit.

Simply order a kit through our online order form and type the voucher number in additional information and we will apply the discount to your order.
Foam Option:
Our plans show optional foam. To make this boat unsinkable we recommend a 4
gallon kit of our Coast Guards approved buoyancy foam. Each gallon expands to
an average of 4 cubic feet. One cubic foot provides 62 lbs of positive flotation.
