Check it out. My most recent dosage of

WEST SYSTEMS G/flex 650 is a toughened, versatile, liquid epoxy for permanent waterproof bonding of fiberglass, ceramics, metals, plastics, damp and difficult-to-bond woods. With a modulus of elasticity of 150,000 PSI, it is a bit more flexible than standard epoxies and polyester, but much stiffer than adhesive sealants. This gives it the ability to make structural bonds that can absorb the stress of expansion, contraction, shock, and vibration. It is ideal for bonding dissimilar materials. It can be modified with WEST SYSTEM fillers and additives and used to wet-out fiberglass tapes and fabrics. Mixed at a 1:1 ratio, this 2-part epoxy gives you 46 minutes of pot life at 72°F and an open (working) time of 60-75 minutes. It reaches an initial cure in 3 to 4 hrs and a workable cure in 7-10 hours

G flex is quite amazing but it never really had as long of a pot life as advertised but that's to be expected honestly. So far the broken skis I fixed with two pounds of it have been working
 
Luckily when mixed at a 1:1 ratio, this 2-part epoxy gives you 46 minutes of pot life at 72°F and an open (working) time of 60-75 minutes. Plenty of time to get some rear end work done.

Agreed on the pot life, though I'm usually mixing up like tablespoons maybe, usually just a bit, which might effect the working time?

I need to pull out the tubes and do some topsheet repairs before the season begins in a couple weeks.

Using large batches should shorten the pot life not small ones. They cure with heat so when there's a large volume of uncured epoxy, the heat can't go anywhere except the epoxy next to it, curing it faster. Not really a huge deal with G Flex but industry epoxy applications must heavily take this into consideration
