Well, actually, I know a lot about the chemistry and regulatory aspects of epoxies, including the industrial exotics for such things as high pressure boron-epoxy impreganated carbon-fiber panel construction. If you wish I can discuss the chemistry. My doctorate was actually in atmospheric chemistry, but these things interest me to learn what the industry was about and though no longer work, I stay abreast of the current H and S issues coming up.
I'm continually amazed how people spend huge dollars for name brands when it all comes from the same manufacturers, the bigger names just formulate mixes for desired applications. My all-time fav is a cold-weather concrete coating epoxy that is just wonderful for wetting out glass, even multiple layers of triaxial glass. Though it isn't the cheapest, it is local and is a 3 to 1 (by volume) mix ratio (with a range toleration of 2.75 to 3.25 resin). It has golden hue from a catalyst that I also like.
