In Response To: Raka Epoxy and Glass (Matt Thyer)

I like Raka and plan to keep using it. I've used the 606 very slow and 610 very fast hardeners. It is clear and colorless. It is very viscous and with the 606 so it wets out fabric well. Since it is thin it also runs easily, so I use a roller for thin fill coats with 610. There is verly little blush. They ship promptly. And best of all it is the least expensive.

I only other epoxy I have used to compare it to is Glen-L's PoxyShield which was brown, very very fast, thick and blushed like a school girl.
