: I've been using Raka epoxy for a while now. I prefer it to the West
: System 105/205 or 207 I'd been using before. Epoxy is the major
: cost in this 'habit' I seemed to be hooked on. I did a
: comparison between Raka and the locally available, free shipping
: West Systems. I was pleasantly surprised to find my preferred
: Raka is significantly more cost effective, even with paying
: shipping from Florida and duty to 'da man'. It's 36% cheaper.

: West 105 Resin. 0.98 gal $115.95 $115.95 1 gallon at 3 to 1 125.44
: oz epoxy
: 207 hardener, 0.33 gal $98.95 $98.95

: $- free shipping

: $32.24 tax

: = $247.14

: $1.97 per oz mixed epoxy

: 3 gallon kit $169.00 $169.00 3 gallons at 2 to 1, 256 oz epoxy

: $59.99 shipping

: $95.00 duty

: = $323.99

: $1.27 per oz mixed epoxy

Hi Kirk,

Epoxy is the expensive part no matter where you live. Cheaper if you buy in bigger quantities, course costs more up front too.
