I would like to start building but was wondering what kind/brand epoxy I should use? Is there any brand you recommend over others? Also how much should I get? Where can I buy it at?

Thank you

For most of my build I used the Glen l epoxy. It was easy to use and even with the shipping from California to Florida was competitive.

Maybe it will be done by G6 and maybe not.

ok..thank you. Just so I am clear, I get the Poxy-Grip and this is the glue, and Poxy-Sheild and this is for sealing the wood?? Or, can you use the poxy-sheild for both???

I'm confused and haven't even started yet!!!

Check out the manual in that link.

I find I always use more than they say....you can order more as you go!

I used the GlenL Poxyshield for everything, made my life simpler. I just added 'sawdust' when I needed to 'thicken' the mixture a bit.
