Pedro, I'm going to try your method. Do you use a foam roller or a squeegee -- or some other method -- to get a nice smooth spread on the thickened fill coats? Thanks in advance!
: Hey Kudzu!
: I posted this the other day for Todd: I use MAS too; it's great for glass wet
: out, but a bit thin for fill coats. To avoid drips in the first place try
: "pre-promoting" your epoxy when doing fill coats. To do this,
: mix your resin with about 20% of the hardener required and let it sit for
: about half an hour. Then mix in the rest of the hardener, and apply your
: fill coat. Your epoxy won't get hard while it's sitting there with a
: portion of the hardener, it'll just get thicker. I do this with MAS and it
: works perfectly. It also requires fewer coats to fill the weave.

: p.s. I've never used Raka, but this trick should work for all epoxies.
