The problem with doing a wrap like i did with regular epoxy, is the timing. When will that strong tack occur ... 3 in the morning? 5:30 in the morning ? with a faster epoxy, at least you know in a few hours or less, you will have the condition to do a wrap around a shape or edge. I'm not recommending it but having a high speed epoxy makes it possible or practical. I guess you could heat it with a gun to get it to kick? I always liked the Raka fast for small chores and wood to wood things like cockpits, and hatches. I'm not always patient.
