Color of the epoxy would be my only concern with mixing SET epoxy,with sanded prep. I have used about 6 different brands and only had problems with the Pygmy stuff. We did not mix brands on the Artic Tern and had some poldergiests.I think there have been about 3 major colors with very slight difference with the other 3. The Sys 3 was on the clear side for us.West was the yellowest.

: Hey everybody. I wanted to get your opinion. I'm building a Pygmy Coho and
: just finished glassing the inside of the hull and realized that I probably
: won't have enough epoxy to finish. I've been using the
: "quick-set" System Three epoxy that I got from Pygmy. Can I
: finish up with a different brand of epoxy or should I contact Pygmy and
: buy more of the System Three? I was really hoping to finish the boat over
: the long holiday weekend. What do you guys think?
