DIY boat materials

Hi, I'm near the end of a plywood/epoxy small boat build. Running out of resin and wood flour. Anyone know of a supplier anywhere in Ireland? UK will take too long...tks

Hi sparkman these will have all you need http://www.wallerwickham.ie/ or http://marineparts.ie/glue-resins-and-filers/ you can also use fine sawdust to thicken you your epoxy. If you need any more help come over to the sailing and boating forum and I will try to answer any questions you might have. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=393

I find the dust from the sanding bag works well as it's nice and fine, if your really stuck you can also get away with household flour
