: I was going to ask the same question, so I'll piggyback on Bob's post. Other
: than System 3, West System, and Raka, as anyone used EAST System epoxies
: (Canadian product)? MAS seems to be popular -- what is the reason for
: that?

MAS is what comes with the CLC kits and can be ordered from them as well. The seem to offer apretty good deal on it for those who don't want to try Raka.

FWIW, I used MAS on my first yak, CLC 18, as it was included with the kit. My second boat is using Raka nonblushing epoxy. My reason to switch was cost and raka had a fine reputation. results of switch - I am perfectly happy with the Raka and will be using it on my next boat. I bought 3 gallons at the time and have almost enough left for another yak.
