West epoxy is good stuff, but highly overated in my opinion and
the mixing ratio is a pain.
My favorite is System Three, it has a 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener
ratio and 3 different hardeners.
I have also been using epoxy from CMI (1-800-522-2599)
I use the slow B-27 resin with A-40 hardener. It is good stuff
and only costs about $15.00 for a 2 quart mix. The bst part is the 1 to 1
ratio. The downfall is that it takes longer to reach full hardness.
You cant easily sand it for a day or 2 if the temps are low and
it takes a week or 2 to reach full hardness unless you cook it.
(most epoxies do this)
They do have faster hardeners too, but in AZ I haven't found a need for
them!
