Has anybody found a disadvantage or advantage to one type of epoxy system over another for attaching the wood gear leg stiffeners?
I was leaning towards West Systems since they're easier to work with and have pumps, and I'm new to glass work.
Reading the forums, many people suggest they're not the strongest, but am unsure how strong this needs to be. Since the spring steel gear flexes quite a bit, we would want the glass and wood to stay firmly attached.
Aeropoxy, EZ Poxy?
Also, which 2" tape from spruce would be recommended? In the Construction Manual it suggests 2-3" 9oz. I don't see this specifically at Spruce, unless i'm missing something.

Appreciate the help!
