The tests were with RAKA's standard, 610 hardener. I have not tried their no-blush hardener. Keep in mind, when making your decision, that I have only tried it on two, small samples, but it seems to be a great improvement over their original epoxy. One thing that I just noticed is that RAKA recommends a minimum temp of 50 deg. F with the fast hardener.

I used primarily SytemThree for both of my kayaks, and I really like their Clear Coat for glassing. It seems that most builders on this bulletin board use, and swear by MAS epoxy. Whatever you decide on, I recommend NOT basing your epoxy decision on price.
