That's right. Got slight tip delam on one of my a-bangs. They lasted me a full two seasons, and I want to push them through next preseason.

Any advice on the best type of epoxy to bond base -> fiberglass/wood?

Before I got into building I used west systems g-flex: http://www.westsystem.com/ss/g-flex-epoxy/ should be available at a hobby shop.

G-Flex is first choice, but if you can't find that any kind of waterproof/marine grade epoxy would work just fine.

I have had some great success with JB weld. Marine grade will work as well especially the 3m stuff but I feel the JB weld does a better job holding where the Marine grade 3m stuff does a better job sealing.

As people said above - G-Flex is the shit.
