I chose West Systems because it came highly recommended from others on this forum. I used a heat gun on low setting and it worked really well for getting bubbles out of the epoxy and it quickly made it more runny, which set into the seams. It’s very much like working with honey at various temps. I highly recommend applying with a syringe, that makes the application consistent and fast. It has a pretty long working time (~45 minutes at 70 degrees) and sets in several hours. West Systems provides helpful directions in their manual just for working with boat seams. Overall, very happy with it as far as getting it on the boat. Based on others users experience, I have no doubt it will also perform on the water. I don’t think it’s UV stable so I’ll be painting over mine.</blockquote>
