epoxy, bracket, and secondary fuel tank questions

[natchalkley]

I am about to start a 23 restoration and I have a bunch of questions:

1.I was wondering what type of epoxy people usually use. I am used to West systems, but im not sure I can afford 10 gallons of it.

2. I know that a lot of people like the Hermco brackets. I was wondering if many of yall have used a Stainless Marine or Armstrong brackets, and how you like them.

3. I also was wondering if anyone had taken out the fish box in front of the console and replaced it with a secondary tank . I am thinking about adding a secondary tank there ~50 gal
