: I have MAS epoxy, but my local marine store only carries West
: System products. Can i use West System microballoons with MAS
: epoxy for the end pours? Should i still follow the ratio listed
: on the West System microballoon container?

: Thanks

Btw, the prices charged for fillers from some of the marine places is really awful. If you're going to build more than one boat, might look at the bigger suppliers, the fillers can be very inexpensive. Here's an example: http://www.fibreglast.com/category/Fillers

Btw, a gallon of Cabosil is about 8 lbs, compare these prices with that in mind.
