In Response To: Re: S3 clearcoat? (Doug Keaster)

Doug, even I picked up on the key word THIN. You're right, I've picked up tins of epoxy "designed" for quick wet-outs, penetration, yadda yadda yadda and the stuff had the viscosity of molasses on a cold day (aka asphalt). You know, down here in Sandy Eggo the three places that distribute epoxy make some incredibly confident claims of their product line and with utmost sincerity poo-poo the competition. My own meager experience wants an epoxy system that is 1:2 or 1:3 by volume, no fancy expensive burping pumps, and is as thin as possible. One of these days I do want to try S3, and this RAKA stuff I hear about on this board.
