Raka is thin, so I'll expect that means it will level better; but that unfortunately means that it runs a lot. Not really that bad to deal with if you have the time and patience to watch and catch it before it becomes a problem.

: properties of West,MAS and Raka for clear coatings on hulls. I have used
