West System 206 Hardener Slow Enough for Hot Days
This is just what I needed, I had to replace the stainless steel tube for my centerboard on my C&C32 shoal draft with centerboard. It was September in Annapolis with consistent daytime temps hitting the 90's. This hardener gave me the time I needed to work with the epoxy and lay up the glass at the base of the tube.
