Really fast and sloppy prototype proa questions   Message List

Re: [harryproa] Re: Really fast and sloppy prototype proa questions

Hello,
I do not know where the wood came from, it may very well come from Brazil.  I purchased some from Exotic Lumber near Annapolis Md.
 
 
Note ; I do not see it listed on web sight but they had some in stock a while back.

I wonder whether the IPE wood that you mention, is our Brazilian IPÊ
wood. It is a very resistant and beautiful wood. I am considering it
for the building of my aka decks. It is a bit on the heavy side,
unfortunately. But the durability might make up for that.

Hurray! I corresponded with the vendor, who said that the tackiness was probably the amine blush. I have only dealt with West epoxy before, and their blush is...

FYI, MAS epoxies claim that their system has no amine blush. I haven't yet tried their products, so I can't verify this, but I'll definitely give their system...
