Epoxy: Raka 6oz cloth
By:Rick Sylvia
Date: 3/28/2003, 9:07 am

Yesterday, a thread started about Raka's 5 oz cloth, which included a few small comments about their cloth in general. I may have been reading things into it, but I got the impression that folks generally like the epoxy, but buy their cloth someplace else.

So, this is my first building project, and I bought the Raka epoxy and their 6 oz plain weave. But now I'm feeling a bit nervous and am wondering if the 6 oz will wet out easily and be a clear finish.

Can I get a few comments from those who used the Raka 6 oz cloth? How was it to work with and so forth? Does it wet out clear?

Thanks - I think after the 5 oz thread, I just need a little reassurance that the 6 oz will be fine, and if not, I'll re-buy from someplace else.

Thanks

Rick
