I am building a mill creek 16.5 and at the point to start the fiberglass work. I want to fiberglass the cockpit and do the end poors. After reading all instrctions for the interior,2 coats the esterior 2 or 3 coats and the deck 4 coats, my question is there enough epoxi that comes with the kit wnough? We get one gallon with the Thanks
The Mill Creek 16.5 kit should come with 1.5 gallon resin, 0.75 gallon slow hardner (MAS Economy Kit #2). This is a total of 2.25 gallons of mixed epoxy. That should be enough to do your Mill Creek. I am interested to know if you only have 1 Gallon of epoxy for your boat. If that is the case it will not be enough.
If you are careful mixing and make small batches to avoid waste, make small fillets, add micro-ballons for end pours and roll on your coats of epoxy to fill the fiberglass, you may be able to do it with 1.5 gallons of resin. I have used just over 1.5 gallons but I added 4oz glass to the inside of my MC 16.5 instead of taping the seams and installed graphite rubstrips. I have also built and added some other custom items for fishing which used up some of the epoxy.
