I just finished my second build and used the Silver Tip epoxy. I'm no authority on epoxies by any means, but I worked in temperatures ranging from 50-90 degrees and never experienced any blushing. I still lightly sand regardless if I let it cure for a day, that's why I try very hard to time everything right and work wet on wet as much as possible.... Mike

Silver tip IMHO best epoxy ever, period.

All i have ever used is Silver tip and never had a blush problem . If you go to System Three web site they say you can go
as long as 72 hours and still get a chemical bond without sanding but i have never gone more than 24 hours .
Great epoxy but expensive but i really like it and it's all i use .

Top water/Peter, thanks guys!! Really appreciate your experience with S3 ST!! Happy holidays, Jeff

Okay here's a shot of the bow before and after I added a small piece. I think I just mis-measured the upper panel, but oh well it can be fixed.





So I have marked my 6 inch overlap and am preparing to glue the upper panel on. The upper panel is about and inch and a half higher than the transom line on both sides. I think I should just drop the panel down in the aft section which will change the line a bit. Any of you guys dealt with this?
