Re: Raka Epoxy

I ran out of System 3 Epoxy last night while seal coating the inside of the wood Walrus, I switched to Raka for the underside of the deck. It was much thinner than the System 3. It went on very nicely. I used much less resin than I would have with the System 3. I also stayed cleaner using the Raka epoxy, because it wasn't as goopy. I did warm the resin before I used it, (to make sure there were no crystals in it) and that may have made a difference in it's workability. I can't wait to use it to wet out the glass on Saturday morning, it should go much better than it did with the System 3. I've been impressed with all of Raka's products that I have used.
