[cboham30]

just wondering if anyone has used duraglas. i have a friend who's dad built a 52 sportfishing boat from the hull up. he's swears by the stuff, just wanted to see who has some input on the subject, since i havn't seen it on any of the rebuild sites

Great stuff!!! all my spider cracks were grinded out and filled with Duraglass. Once filled easy to sand then apply more if needed for deep grindes. Last step use a fine sandable fering putty, I used Americas Cup from Fiberglass Coatings tuff stuff will not shrink... Make sure when you sand, sand in a pattern using all points in a compus N to S, E to W, NE to SW, etc...

duraglas is strong however it does not have a long working time when mixed corretly.  If you are looking to bond mateials together I would suggest ARJAY.  Is is low shrinkage and the activator is MEK so it has properties and cure time like polyester resin.  I use to to bond decks to stringers and fill small voids when putting in a new transom.  They sell it a fiberglass services in Sarasota.  
PS you can get it in 5 gallon buckets

Duraglass not bad, easy to work with not for structural use. Watch the MEK that stuff is potent. Gloves, respirator.
