Hi Jim

Well, I'm not sure what I can tell you except that I've used their 127/350 combo and in 100+ temps. I've gotten over 40 minutes of working time. If you go to One Ocean Kayaks web-site, Vaclav has done some tests and shows samples there which show that RAKA came out clearer than all others he tested.
If you look in the Archives for Spidey, Ken Kemski (I believe), On his website you may find the name of the epoxy he used down in Florida ( which is where RAKA is also ). It was used there for surfboards and he used it on his kayak a couple of years ago and said it was totally clear as well. Outstanding site if you take the time to check it out.. Lots of good info...
