: I used System 3 with the

: a cold boat, and ended up doing a lot more sanding than necessary.
Hi Ann, I had a similar problem using System 3 with my first boat. I had lots of runs/sagging. I'm in a different workspace now that stays around 50-60 deg. I used RAKA 350/127 on this boat and I am pleased with the results; I'm using a tighter weave fabric too. The 350/127 takes a pretty long time to harden at those temps but I got good results this time... it could just be that I have better skills now.
