In Response To: epoxy? sandpaper? (John Skinner)

Do you want cheap or quality? Generally speaking, quality is directly proportional to price. I am a big fan of MAS epoxy - NOT cheap, but high quality and no blush. As for sandpaper, Klingspor stearated aluminum oxide seems to last forever. Their website is http://www.woodworkingshop.com. I buy the RO disks by the 50/box, can get two or three boats out of a box, and much cheaper than buying them a few at a time at the big box stores.

: tell me who makes the clearest resin im using system three with the medium
: hardner but it seems to me it yellows a little, is raka better, clearer I
: heard its cheaper? sandpaper who has the biggest bang for the buck?
: cheapest with longest cutting time
