I built a 16 lt with west system epoxy.&nbsp; I am starting an annapolis wherry soon and also plan on using west just because I am used to it.&nbsp; Any objections

On my chesapeake 17LT build I used Mas and West. &nbsp;They both seem very good.&nbsp;

I have no preference at this moment for one vs the other.

I went to this site before settling on which epoxy to use:

[http://oneoceankayaks.com/Epoxtest.htm](http://oneoceankayaks.com/Epoxtest.htm)

Helps that CLC sells MAS, as they and Raka 127 scored the highest (for long term durability/lack of discoloring).&nbsp; Given the choice, I'd choose MAS over West System, but I'm sure many are happy with the WS results.

Good luck,

Larry
