In Response To: Epoxy brand? Sys3/Tap/etc (Kara Smith)

I've never heard of Tap. I've used MAS and System 3 Clear Coat and would recommend both. I've tried Raka but not enough to judge it yet.

I've used both the blushing and non-blushing hardeners. I'm with George on this one, I'll never use a blushing hardener again.

Raka has good glass and prices.
