Epoxy Purchase
I made my trip to the Kingston Ontario West Marine on Saturday to pickup my West System epoxy and accessories. It was really worth the 45 minute drive instead of ordering online as I had planned. I thought I would need a gallon jug of epoxy, but when I picked up a gallon can as I was thinking how heavy my bike will be I quickly realized that there is no way I will need nearly that much. I ended up buying the smaller quart size. Looking at the coverage charts, it is now obvious this stuff goes much further than I had realized. Actually, I hadn't given it much thought. I also got the pumps, rollers, mixing cups, etc that are required. I got 207 hardener since I understand it holds up better to UV exposure and it also cures to a much clearer finish than the other hardeners. I got a can of 404 high density filler, this will be used for the bonding of the headtube, bottom bracket, swing arm pivot, chain idler and likely part of the upper rear shock mount.
