How is the quality on their stuff? Definitely the least expensive I've found, but I can't find if it contains solvents or diluents. I'd rather pay a little more and get 100% solids if they don't.

Anybody know?

Thanks.

I'm using it right now on my 14-29 Pirogue. I have not put it in the water yet but so far it's real easy to work with. I got this problem though of knocking the container of hardener over and some of it spilling out. They should put some kind of bracing on the containers to prevent that. :oops:

Once applied, I've found their epoxy to be pretty nice. Blushes more than like System Three.

Biggest draw back is it has a pretty strong odor (the medium cure hardener) and the 3:1 mix ratio can be a little confusing if you're used to 2:1

The slow cure is supposed to be a little nicer.
