Make sure the RAKA is fully cured, and go over it good with a scotch-brite and warm water to remove the amine blush. The West will bond fine. If you ever scratch it hard enough to need to recoat, it may be hard to match the color.

: probably one or two fill coats on both the deck and Hull. I'm concerned
: about the bond between the two different resins.
: Anyone have any advice - like don't do it? Rough up the RAKA real well first?
: Should I try and soften it up with something like acetone before applying
: the West System?
: Any input appreciated, and thanks in advance.
