Ted:

I am considering using clear coat on my next boat, using 3.25 ounce satin weave that I have a supply of. I have never 'mixed' epoxies before, and have always done my fill coats with the same stuff that I wet out with. I have raka 127/350 - would you worry about filling with this on top of System three clear coat?

On my last stripper I wet out two layers of 3.25 at one time with the Raka, but had more bubbles between than I like. Have you ever tried two at once with clear coat or would you always let the first harden before laying in the second? I was concerned with good adhesion between layers and took a chance, with mixed results.

Thanks,
Ralph
