: Instead of the 2090 I'd go with the 2070/3100 for a higher surface
: hardness and flexural modulus (ie stiffer). It's still pretty
: thin.

: I'm currently using the Project 21 2000/2100 medium resin. I'd like
: to try the Composite Pro system you listed. I don't know if it's
: available in the CE package with the added UV stabilizers. If it
: doesn't I'd use the thicker P21 system for gel and fill coats
: and laminate with the CP system.

: That the glass wets out perfectly clear! ;) Also check bubble
: formation and see how long it takes to "kick." Mostly
: get used to it.

Dan,
I spoke with Greg at Resin Research and the Pro System does not include the CE package. He suggested not using the Pro System as it is designed for infusion. His recommendation was the Project 2000/2100 system and the Additive F. I placed an order for 1.5 Gallons of Epoxy/Hardner, 1 pint of Additive F, and 1 pint of X-55 Accelerator.

Thanks again for all your help!
Toby
