In Response To: Epoxy: what brands do you prefer (Terry)

: I have been using Tap Plastic's marine epoxy and about to run out
: and would like to know what the expert builders use. why and the
: cost.
: The brand i have been using is kind of expensive and blushes badly.
: thanks for your input.

I have used whatever epoxy comes with the s&G kits I have built and so far have used West(207), System Three General Purpose, System Three Silvertip and MAS. I have had good results with all of them. My preference in order is as follows:
1 MAS
2 S3 Silvertip
3 S3 GP
4 West

Overall I like the way MAS wets out and fills.
