No more cratering with RAKA!

I have, in the past, bad-mouthed RAKA epoxy for cratering when re-coating sanded epoxy surfaces. Larry Steeves recently sent me a free sample of his epoxy which has, in his words, been reformulated to reduce the cratering problem.

I have run two test samples of this new epoxy; coating, sanding, then re-coating, and can report that it did not crater. It also seemed to blush less than the old formula. The new formula is also just as thin as the original; RAKA's main advantage, in my view.

Is this the 350 hardener?
