Default Jim I follow everything you do to learn a better way then some

of my old fashioned ways. I feel I need to return that favor. West Geugeon brothers system was my first and only choice for many years. I was buying drums of it. Then 5 gal batches. I know many that will not change from it. Me, I found out it was not as friendly as other products out there. I buy all my epoxy from USComposites now. For atleast 10 years now. It does not blush. It is epoxy, It won't fail.it is cheaper. way cheaper. the thin epoxy is good for laminating and I buy their fillers except for cabisil. They are much cheaper also. It was explained to me years ago that epoxy is bought generically and then be it west system or system 3 or US composites specify different hardeners and fillers in the resin part for thin and thick resin. or hardening times. I have never seen my epoxy blush and they claim I should be buying a 2/1 hardener for non blushing? I have never seen 3/1 blush after many years in cold and warm conditions. I find it the best all round resin and hardener to use.

Ditto.

US Composites Epoxy is the best value I know of. The 3/1 epoxy (medium hardener) in a 2.67 gallon kit is less than $45/gallon (before shipping).
