Yeah i found the same stuff that you have.. did you really spend $140 for that one skate just for epoxy?? I priced it on the website and that is what it came to. What letter are your containers? And how much did you use? I really dont want to spend that much!

yea thats how much it is, but they are big containers, you only use alittle for one board

Like how much? Could i get away with a Quart of resin and half a pint of hardener? Just wondering.. That would only be about $60 compared to $140

well sorta, i rode it yesterday. it was pretty sick, i might have to reshape the rail alittle but overall it did wayyy better than i thought it would. plus it was kinda slippery with no grip, but ill post a pic when i get it griped!

if your going to use the west marine 2 part epoxy dont paint your board because it dosent like to stick to paint. and you wont be able to stick any stickers to the bottom of it because it is very very slippery. but you can get about 4 boards out of it which is about the only good part about it.

4 boards out of how much? And what else is there to use that is the same quality?

west marine 2 part epoxy is meant to be painted because it wont hold up long term in uv light. straight from the west marine dvd: " how to use west marine epoxy" i painted mine it turned out just fine.

@Ro$$ how do you make the bi level one? is it just like making 2 boards but with the top one having more rocker then the bottom one?
