In Response To: Material: RAKA (SteveR)

I've used West System and RAKA. My last project (a hovercraft) used RAKA and it worked just fine. One word of warning about their pumps though. Mine burped a lot. You shouldn't totally rely on the pumps to get the proper mixture. Double check the ratio with a measuring cup. RAKA recommends doing this and they claim their ratios are by volume, not weight. If you get RAKA, read the instruction sheet. They also have good mixing instructions.
