Not sure, but I've gotten the impression from this forum, that unless it's from "West System", you're just throwing money away.
(I think some of you are a bit "Catholic" about West)
I'm in the middle of a freedom build with us composite 3to1, and it has performed EXACTLY as advertised.
I have yet to put the thing in the water, but if my freedom falls apart I'll be the first to tell EVERYONE I know.
Until then, I have nothing negative to say about us composites.

I personally don't have a real strong preference toward any of the brands mentioned. I've only used West once and that was their general purpose stuff.

My only preference is a good value. If I want top-end performance, then System Three Silver Tip is the brand I'd used.

Otherwise U.S. Composites, Progressive Epoxy Polymers, RAKA, etc... all do a good job.

I have always used MAS brand, with just their slow hardener.

I used System three on three boats and find it to be supurb.

Except the one time I didn't add the hardener. :oops:
