I've just finished a project where I mainly used System Three Silvertip, but finished up with West System. Not a big fan of the West - it seems to work nicely, but it blushes like mad, and the 5:1 micing ratio is a pain. I didn't want to invest in their pumps, but a 5:1 ratio really limits the selection of batch volumes you can make... so more gets wasted. I think 2:1 low-blush epoxies are where it's at, and the Silvertip was excellent on every level - totally justifies the cost, in my opinion. Can't comment on other products like MAS, Raka, etc.

Hope this helps.

: I have used West System epoxy on a couple of small jobs over the years and
: reading a couple of books (Nicks included) I think that I want to use
: epoxy rather than "Poly". My question is, how much (if any)
: difference is there between epoxy brands?
: I have noticed a couple of different brands available and West System seems
: to be the most common but also the most expensive (in South West England
: anyway).
: Any advice would be welcome.
