I’ve just finished sealing my SLEC Huntress hull. I went for EL2 Laminating Resin from Easy Composites as suggested, first layer with fibreglass cloth and then one additional coat inside and out. The last model I did which was a similar size/design I used Z-Poxy Finishing Resin, same stages/coats.
The EL2 seems more temperature dependent for the curing process and does take 24hrs + if the temp drops much below 15C, that is with the slow hardener. The finish once cured is really hard, it took a lot more elbow grease compared to the Z-Poxy I used before, but the resulting finish is very durable and silky smooth. I suspect that you could get away not using the fibreglass cloth as it is very strong.
Price wise it is about a 1/4 that of the Z-Poxy (if you can fined someone with it in stock). I used about 250g of the 1Kg kit where as I used nearly all the 6oz pack of Z-Poxy. Don’t buy it off Ebay as the same supplier seems to be charging about 3x the price of their direct website.
Happy to use again as the extra sanding is balanced out by the cheaper price and durable finish. The same supplier does a “coating resin” which maybe easier to sand.
