In Response To: Epoxy: wet out with MAS, filled with Sys 3...bad mix. (Bill Cruz)

This is a little bit off subject, but I'll ask anyway. I don't think I'll have enough MAS epoxy to do the fill coats on my yak, but I have enough to do all the fiberglassing. I have a supply of WEST that I can use, not a lot, but at least half a gallon. Is it OK to use WEST as a filler if I wait a while and scrub, then sand very lightly to create a mech bond? I have a while to think about it, but thought I would ask. If need be, I can buy more MAS epoxy.
