: Larry, what made you decide to use it,,over simply putting a little cabosil
: to thicken it? MAS has a thicker resin called FLAG that I used once for a
: fill coat and it also made a thicker coat. I wonder if the 900 and 631
: hardener would have appreciably better abrasion characteristics than the
: other epoxies.

Don't use cabosil to thicken a fill coat. It makes it too hard to sand.
