: Very little odor (much less than MAS at least). It has the same
: safety precautions as "regular" petroleum-based epoxy.
: The price is very reasonable.

: Another positive: When used as a coating (ie fill coats) it seems
: to self-level better than any other epoxy I've tried. I was able
: to put on a very thin layer that looked like glass on the
: bulkhead panels. I was impressed.

Thanks for sharing. I have wanted to give this stuff a try. I just hate being the guinea pig, and lately all the stuff I am building are prototypes that get shown off so I don't want to risk switching brands and have a prototype come out looking bad. Does this stuff wet out clear, or does it have a yellow tint? When I say clear I mean like water, and when I say yellow tint, I mean even a little. I actually don't mind a little yellow tint when I am looking for a warm glow like with the old 207, which was very yellow, and I would use it when I wanted a "classic" look to the wood. However, I prefer to use a clear epoxy and then use varnish if I want to warm up the color a little.
