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

I'm in the middle of glassing my first boat. I'm using Raka 6oz glass, epoxy and the non-blushing hardener. All seems to be going well, mixing seems to be going pretty well, no bad batches.

Tips I have gathered from this board include.....
- Ask for the glass rolled not folded.
- Ask for non-volan finish (to avoid a greenish tint)
- Always measure when mixing. I bought the Raka pumps....but I can't remember pumping the resin without a burp.
