WEST SYSTEMS CALCULATOR

Our Epoxy of choice for kit construction is West System. Often when building a kayak it is necessary to use only small amounts of epoxy, or other times it is necessary to use a large volume in proportion to the amount of fiberglass used. This tool gives values for both amount of resin and hardener needed based on a weight of fiberglass. Page 2 includes a table for quick reference while working in the shop. Links to the material data sheets for West System 206 and 207 hardeners are included on page 3.
