    Using an epoxy that has no amines would be a welcomed change for many.

    I've used them and the product is nice to work with. A bit spendier than I like so I switched to Progressive (2:1). I did like it's tolerance for (slightly) off ratio mixing and it had a medium kick time...decent in warmer weather and good down to about 50 degrees. A good epoxy to learn with.

    lewisboats- you must be buying in bulk. Cheapest I could find at progressive is $75.00 per 1.5 gallon($50.00 per gallon). I was looking at buying 5 gallon plus and clarkcraft is $216.00 per 5 gallon. ($43.20 a gallon). I must be missing something though because I get lost on progressives site. Thanks.

    Probably not (missing something)...I haven't used Clark Craft in about 5 years. When I did it was something like $10 more expensive per gallon than Progressive. I haven't checked the prices lately. Maybe I should have as I just bought 1.5 gals and could have saved myself some $$$

    I checked and they still are about $10 more a gallon...Don't need and couldn't afford to get 5 gals at a shot. Still using up the last purchase from about 2 years ago.
