I did my last boat in Epiglas. I got it at US Boat or is it Boat US. It was low cost ( about $10.00 less per gallon)and it filled the weave better than West System and EverStar. It seems to have a lower viscosity than the other two. It cured well although I did not try it at low temperatues. It blushes quickly and it is easy is easy to see when you have got the blush off (Soap and Water wash) The intralux paint and pedit gold varnish drys without problems.I have been recomending it to others and have had no complants execpt that US Boat can not keep it in stock due to high demand.
