Epoxy: Trying a new epoxy

I've been using a tried and true epoxy for a couple of years and have had some great success with it but I am always interested in trying something new.
My glass supplier has recommended Resin Research for a crystal clear wetout of my new SUP. It has UV protection and wets out clearer than anything including what I am using and system 3 silvertip epoxy. Thats what I am told.
I really like my supplier and they have not led me wrong and have been very helpful in the past. So I trust them enough to use the Research on my latest.

I plan to seal and wetout using the same proceedure I have in the past, with high temps, roller, heat gun and squeegee. I hope to see an easier wetout with at least the same clarity I have had in the past. With the addition of UV protection then it may be a step up.

Now I just need a self applying varnish.
