West System 105-B Epoxy Resin Bundle with 206-B Slow Epoxy Hardener and 300 Mini Pumps Epoxy Metering Pump Set, Pale Yellow

I have used this epoxy system for years. The pumps make correct ratios of hardener to resin easy. Most of my experience has been with the slow hardener. It gives you plenty of time to get your project finished. It's not crystal clear, if you want that then use resins that are designed to give you a transparent finish. West Systems epoxy willl give you outstanding bonding strength and if you need more, just add some of the fillers they sell. THe Microlight Fairing Filler is a great additive for a thickening the resin and works great as a filler for body work. It feathers out every bit as good as Bondo does perphaps better and bonds to a fair-thee-well to whatever you use it on. I can't say enough good about this product. I've used it on everything from high power rockets to body work on cars. It will not disappoint you. I highly recommend it.

They make a wide range of epoxies with various properties, but for all around projects, this is the best. I'm a contractor and I use this constantly. It's better than wood glue for complicated clamping because it has a much longer working time than Titebond. It's not water resistant, it's waterproof. Most people don't realize that paint isn't waterproof, even polyurethane. I mix it with polyester powder or 410 fairing compound to make putty for exteriors applications. I use it on my boat. I use it on my surfboard (although it has no uv blocking). I use it everywhere to fix everything.

This is a great system. The only drawback is that you must use a full pump from each can or you lose the benefit of the calibrated pumps. This will occasionally lead to wasting some epoxy. I bought this for a woodworking project and was very happy with the performance. I would be mixing several ounces at a time and wanted to be sure that it didn't set up prematurely, so I got the slow hardener. You can also buy this bundle with fast hardener if you prefer. I added West System 404 High Density Filler to my mix. I've used that filler in the past and found that it thickens the epoxy and provides a gap-filling property. The filler also will prevent runs if you use enough of it. I've finished my project and still have lots of this bundle left over. I'm keeping it in a room temperature environment and expect that I'll find other uses and projects for it. The bundle also came with an excellent instruction book/product catalog. It has been a year since I purchased this and the price hasn't gone up yet.

We used the epoxy on this earn that my husband made for our dog that died. It was easy to mix, easy to use and was an easy clean up. Great product. Will buy again.

I got my epoxy kit in in time, the big can was a little dented but it was not leaking. The self metering pumps are awesome and it also came with a very detailed instruction manual of how to use the products. It was my first time using epoxy and now I feel like I can do anything I need to do. When this stuff dries it is solid, if you do it right it is stronger than nails and screws by a long shot

This epoxy gets more expensive every time I buy it. However, It is reliable. It sets up perfectly every time with a great bond, and mixes well with fillers. Cheap epoxies have failed me, so I guess I will keep paying the price.

This is hands-down the best epoxy on the market. We used this same product on the East Coast for curved deck handrails that were the elements all year long. Now I use this in my wood shop for custom furniture pieces including dying the epoxy to achieve bright colors or black inlays. The only thing I'd say is don't mix quantities bigger than approximately 8 oz. The stuff flashes quickly and will heat up so much it will melt the container you're using to mix. You can use a propane torch from a distance to pop bubbles on the surface in the first few minutes after you pour it. After that the torch will leave strange marks in the surface of the Finish so stay off it after about 10 minutes of working time.

S. Bean either did not read, or understand. Kit comes with 1 pump dispenser for resin, which pumps 5 parts with 1 pump, and 1 pump dispenser for the hardener, which pumps 1 part with each pump. One pump of resin and one pump of hardner gives you the 5:1 ratio. In any event, I use it with the slow hardener to get a little longer set up time. If I need something to harden faster, I set up heaters which really speeds up the cure time. Was going to try Total Boat as its cheaper but was happy with the first bundle of West Systems, so I am on my second. Restoring an older Whaler. Would love to try the 422 BARRIER COAT ADDITIVE
