In Response To: Raka epoxy - thin or thick? (David Dick)

: I was going to order some Raka epoxy, but the other day someone here grouped
: it in with the high viscosity epoxys. My web site browsing has Raka, Mas,
: and East System all claiming 600cps, with West System at 1000cps.

: How does the Raka compare, in practice, for flow and fabric wetout?

Raka is pretty thin. Seems to wet out just fine.

I am comparing it to MAS.

PS. I used MAS on my first boat. Raka on the second. Planning on using Raka on the upcoming third and fourth this fall and winter.
