Epoxy question

Hello all,

 

This will be my first post on this board. 

 

A few years ago i built a strip canoe, using W.E.S.T., had a great experience, easy to work with, very strong, no problems what so every, execpt the price.  I just recently re priced it at about $85 gallon (resin and hardern, if bought in 5 gallons).

 

I have been out on ebay and there is a guy out in CA selling his product for about $35 less per gallon.  To finish my two current projects i need about 15 gallons.

 

My questions are:  Has anybody ever used this guy?  Is there much variation in epoxy quality?  With west are you paying more for the name?

 

Hope I am not rehashing an old post.  Thank much.

Diagonals

Does anyone know how diagonals are applied to lofting a boat?

 

I understand what I'm looking at with the station, buttock and waterline line but I can't see to get my head around what I'm supposed to be looking at with the diagonals. What are they doing?

 

Thanks,

HELP - Holmes Search

I am looking for information on the boat manufacturer Holmes.

I beleive they were a custom builder out of Canada. And built boats at least into the 1950s.

ANY info would be a great assist to my searches.

Thanks

Ivan

Happy Boating.
