My first experience with Raka was with the 127/305 combination on the Wee Lassie II. I've been extremely pleased with it and have no plans to return to West System. My only complaint (and it's something I can easily live with - complaint is too strong a word) is that it's very slow to cure and very thin. It takes a long time and many coats to build up. But the no-blush 350 is great. Two thumbs up!

: Yes. Their standard "kits" come with the 127 resin and 606 Slow
: (2:1) and 610 Fast (2:1) hardeners. There is also a 900HP resin, and 350
: Non Blushing/High Gloss (2:1) and 631 Special (5:1) hardener.

: I have always used the 127 with 606 and 610, but I might try the 127 with 350
: next time.
