Hey Chuck(I ass-u-me again)

Check out the U.S. Composites web site for glass and epoxy before you buy. A 3 gal kit of epoxy is abt $86. I've used MAS, Raka, and US Composites epoxy and I don't see much difference in any of it except price. I'm not a pro-builder, so others know much more than I, but I used US Composites epoxy with slow hardener and their 4oz glass on my latest yak and had no problem getting a clear wet-out. It even smells much like Raka. This is just my second yak so a grain of salt may be required here.

Happy Building.

Charles.
