That's how it is shipped. That's a 5-gallon resin and 2.5-gallon hardener container. They come with the spigots.

The only larger size is a 55 gallon drum. I can't see needing that much at once unless I was cold molding an entire boat from the ground up. (never say never)

Seriously, though, you should consider instructional videotapes of you projects. All the rage. Retirement kitty.

As a certified Jim Henson nut (dog named Grover...), that cracked me up. Excellent rendition.

This Old Boat (royalties to don casey, of course)...... I occasionally stumble onto the TV show "ShipShape TV". www.shipshapetv.com This guy cracks me up. He presents the STRANGEST mix of character.... one minute he's Mr. Expert explaining the ins and outs of shorepower systems, and the next he's Mr. Bumbling Boater, in awe of the expert-of-the-week's application of rubbing compound. It's not a terribly informative program, but it's worth a chuckle if you happen to be channel-surfing.

Well said! I occasionally find my own TV channel set there as well, purely for the entertainment value and chortling potential. It's pretty amusing in its horridness.

I once watched him Awl-Grip a small fishing boat in a single 30-minute eposode (well, more like 17 minutes after you subtract the commercial breaks that occur every 32 seconds). The information was relatively accurate, if (pardon the pun) highly glossed over.

Bork, bork, bork!

better than "shipshapeTV"

Does the guy on "Shipshape" have trusted assistant and S.L.J.O. Nathan Sanborn wrestling giant anaconda while He hawks his sponsors' wares?
No? Didn't think so.
Thus: "Nathan sure has his hands full; he might be in trouble! But he needs to get his message out!
If YOU need to get YOUR message out, Brushfire Media has the solution....."
