I've only used the fast harder. I agree it is clear and thin enough to go on easily. Happy working temperature seems to be in the 60 - 65 degree range. Don't let your shop creep up to 80 degrees unless you want a real workout. No problem with blush yet, can manage three coats in a day with it. Crystalizes in cold at warmer temperatures than West System or System 3. Overall I like it and will continue using it. Next favorite would be System 3.
good luck
