Epoxy: Cost of epozy

Fellow Canucks

I've been using Raka epoxy for a while now. I prefer it to the West System 105/205 or 207 I'd been using before. Epoxy is the major cost in this 'habit' I seemed to be hooked on. I did a comparison between Raka and the locally available, free shipping West Systems. I was pleasantly surprised to find my preferred Raka is significantly more cost effective, even with paying shipping from Florida and duty to 'da man'. It's 36% cheaper.

West 105 Resin. 0.98 gal $115.95 $115.95 1 gallon at 3 to 1 125.44 oz epoxy
207 hardener, 0.33 gal $98.95 $98.95

$- free shipping

$32.24 tax

= $247.14

$1.97 per oz mixed epoxy

3 gallon kit $169.00 $169.00 3 gallons at 2 to 1, 256 oz epoxy

$59.99 shipping

$95.00 duty

= $323.99

$1.27 per oz mixed epoxy
