Hi there,
I have been using the West system for epoxy repairs of racing kayaks, paddles, boats, etc since the early 80's. I never did like the amine blush that you get from West epoxy. It makes it a pain to varnish over it. I do like the different speed curing agents you can get.
A friend told me that the racers and cruisers in the Virgin Islands like to use the MAS system.
anybody out there use the MAS system? How about other epoxies. They all say they are the best, just like software companies, varnish companies, etc.
I am about to run out of West epoxy and need to get in a new supply. I would rather not have to deal with amine blush.
Opinions, suggestions?
