: Can I get comments on this??

Sure! Here's my 2 cents! I used Raka epoxy on a strip kayak and a hybrid.
On the stripper, I did a seal coat to help eliminate bubbles coming from the open wood fibers. With the hybrid, I did not use a precoat, as I believe, the plys are more stable and wouldn't give off bubbles from open grain.
In both cases, the results were great.
Have fun, Steve
