I've made a lot of progress in the last few weeks. I've gone through 2 gallons of resin since starting back on my boat. I recently discovered that my neighbor across the street works for a large boat manufacturer located about 5 miles from my house. He recently came through for me in a big way. I just bought 5 gallons of resin, hardner, and putty they use for filling gaps and bedding stringers; he got it all for $60. The last two gallons I ordered online was $65 plus shipping. He also told me that I can go right to the factory office and buy it direct from his company.
On top of all that, he has offered to help me however he can.
