From most accounts on the BBS, RAKA is less money, clearer (in some opinions) and good to work with. Since I enter this project with no epoxy experience I have no status-quo, which I guess drives many back to an epoxy simply because 'it worked well before.'

Does anyone have any bad RAKA bad experiences, any reasons to spend more money elsewhere?

: I have used MAS on my first boat and RAKA on my second. Very similar - except
: the price. You will save alot with RAKA and all there products are first
: rate.
: Good service too. The RAKA with the newer hardner is clearer than the MAS.
: The
: MAS is a bit honey colored, which on a wood boat isn't so bad. good luck
