Mac,

I think that the Raka is more prone to the white bruises. If I had a goal to minimize white bruises, I would use WEST or MAS epoxy and an open plain weave cloth with a silane finish fomulated for epoxy.

: Thanks, I'm glad to know it's not the Raka. I can't remember what weave I got
: - just that it was 4 oz. This next go around I'll make sure it's plain
: weave with volan.
