: The original Super Sap 10/100 has a slightly higher bio content and
: is more amber (listed as around 7 Gardner). My understanding it
: does not have the UV blockers of the CLR.

: Super Sap CLR is virtually water white (eg clear). In the old
: product data they listed the mixed color as a one on the Gardner
: scale. I would call it one of the clearest I've used. It also
: does not have any of the "brighteners" (just a blue
: tint) of some resins.

: Even though the exterior of "Sally" was painted, I used
: the clear exclusively, in lieu of the 10/100, in order to see
: how it would wet out different fabrics. I didn't want to buy two
: different resin/hardeners. I also knew because it was being
: painted it was a good test bed if things went south.

: Like I said earlier, I was impressed.

How did it wet out the heavy carbon fiber cloths? Did you vacuum all of the heavy stuff? Did you do any test panels and cut them up to see if you got 100% saturation of the cloth? I have found that with heavier CF there are occasional dry spots that don't soak up any resin when I lay them up by hand, I'm looking at vacuum the next time I want to build something like a hatch, but that doesn't solve the issue with a coaming that is one-off molded in place like I did on my NH.

Did you use fairing fillers on your fill coats? The durability of the hull bottom will be interesting to see.
