Brett:
MaxGain has a "hexbeam" kits available. There is a link at the top of their
main web page:
http://www.mgs4u.com/index.html There are several options
available, including spreaders, element wire and UV rope. The sections are
cut specifically for the "broadband" version of the antenna. As such, they
can be shipped for "standard" UPS/FedEx Ground rates.
MG also has construction tips on their web site. Personally, I used the 3M
5200 Marine Fast Cure adhesive. I found a tube at my local Home Depot. The
adhesive takes 24 hours to cure. However, the adhesive was cured enough
after a few hours to allow me to start painting the spreaders. NOTE: I had
them laying on an extension ladder, covered with cardboard, so there wasn't
a lot of stress on the joints during the curing and painting process.
