Like others have said, it looks very professional and orginal. Great work.

Polyester resin is a lot cheaper, though!

No kidding. It also cures a lot quicker too. That's can one maddening part about working with epoxy.

Of interest, Entropy Resin is working on a new ultra fast hardener CLX hardener (works with the CLR resin). I just bought a small kit for evaluation purposes. It's a lot like working with polyester: Pot life of 15 minutes, tack free at 2 hours and sandable at 4-5 hours (all at 72 F). It's touted as being ultra clear with UV absorbers, is bio-derived with no blush. It's fairly thin too. It should be great for hot coating. We'll see how it works... BTW: I use their resin commercially and they are letting select people beta test it. I have no financial interest.
