That's about where I was at that stage of the build. I bought another half gallon epoxy kit and it got me through with a fair bit to spare. 

You have already used about twice what you should have. Don't feel bad, though. We all use several pounds of unneeded epoxy on our first build. One coat is plenty to seal bare wood; and on fibergrass inside the hull. And on your next boat (nobody can build only one boat) keep your fillets under 3/8". The extra epoxy won't hurt; it's just expensive and adds weight without increasing strength. -Wes

^^ well said. Tis way my first build, too, and I can now clearly see where I used too much, made mistakes, had waste leftover in the pots, etc. I'm confident that for my next build ill be able to do it with the amount of epoxy provided with the kit. 

On the plus side, I may have sanded off half of the excess waste that I put into the darn thing. I just keep hearing John Harris's voice in my head over and over as I sand the hull... "Sending is fun, sanding is fun...". They ought to put that on a t-shirt. :-)

I'm building a Chesapeak 18 and experiencing the same dilemma!  As others have said, you learn a great deal on the first build...and, yes, I AM going to build another boat in the near future.  It is fun to learn and, if if were easy, everybody would be doing it!! (as the old saying goes).

I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Damn, and I thought I was doing so good..............right up to the point I realized I'm well on my way to building a 200 lb kayak. 

Thank you for the help. I'll take it easy on the epoxy going forward.
