    Could you elaborate a bit more please as to what 'AHEW West' and 'Seahawk' are?

    I know of one Seahawk which is a type of antifouling paint that is obtainable in the Caribbean......

    Do we have guidelines for posting queries during the joining process? In an international forum brand names are often secondary to product descriptions. Also I am still awaiting that promised crystal ball thanks admin.

    I think the latest AI is working on the crystal ball, but so far it only provided the answer: 42.

    MST3000 - could you please provide some background so it is clear to everyone what information you are seeking. Thanks.

    I stumbled upon the Hitchiker book long before the screen version appeared and the book was vastly superior to my taste. Thanks for the reminder, it was great for dreamers, just like Asimov.

    Ah ok.
    I should have asked Google what Ahews are.

    Are you asking for an AHEW comparison between WEST epoxy

    and Sea Hawk epoxy?

    Chemically west epoxy and hardeners are the same as Seahawks, ie different label same product.

    If one has the AHEW, you can use with "any" other brand part A, if you know EEW of said, part A.
