: I finally started working on my Guillemot L on Cinco de Mayo. I'm getting way
: ahead of myself here but am curious about which brand of epoxy to use.
: I've done a little research and settled on System 3 but as I read
: different posts here and talk to other people I get all kinds of different

: I have talked to the people at System 3 and had excellent service and their
: book and catalog are very informative. Is there any reason I should look

: Thanks,

For the most part Mike, every brand has been used and you will get positive comments from all users of different brands. In the two years I've been listening, I've heard it all. If you haven't already picked a brand, you might look into cost. I think that Raka about beats them all, but, Spidey found some down in Florida that he raves about and the price is right. I don't remember the name or how to get it, so you'd have to get ahold of him for the details.

They are all a bit different, but I think it's just a matter of which you get used to. Just read up on which ever one you pick and go for it.
