If you are starting a project or are in the middle of a project like one of those listed here, you can contact a fellow WEST SYSTEM user who has completed or is working on the same or similar project. Those listing their projects here have volunteered to be the voice of experience, warning you of pitfalls or passing on useful tips or techniques that can save you time, grief and money. To contact one or more fellow builders and share ideas about your common projects, click on REQUEST INFORMATION for up to six projects. We will send you the contact information for each project listed. Some projects may include more than one contact for the same or similar projects. It is up to you to contact the individual who listed the project and to determine the suitability of any advice you receive.

There is no instruction manual for most of these projects. Many of you have had to figure out what works and what doesn’t the hard way. Many problems are unique to a particular boat or design.
