Just one more comment about the subject and then I will shut up. It seemed to me when I was researching the subject it came down to this: 1) "I havent tried it (Raka), 2) "I havent tried it (West, MAS, S3) 3) "I havent heard anything bad about it (RAKA), 4) "I have heard good things about (west, MAS, S3) 5) "I have heard that you dont want to choose your epoxy by price, with inferences that low cost equals low quality or at least unknown quality"

And I made my decision based on the following: It just seemed to me that any and all reasons for not going with Raka were fear based. I received no actual information from anyone who had actually used it, that substantiated this fear.

And I received no actual information from anyone who actaully used a more expensive one which substantiated the added cost of the others.

As I said, I bought it, used it and will buy it again. I am very happy with my decision.

If anyone has had any bad experiences with *any* brand of epoxy, it should be posted here. Not necessarily to open up the "which is better" debate but certainly to build our database of factual info upon which we can use to make our decisions. We can share goofs, operator error and product problems. Most of us ( I presume) are adult enough to tell the difference. Its time that we stop giving a free ride to products with high prices.

End speech.
