Raka Epoxy Sale

Eric-it just so happens I need some epoxy, and I need some help on what I should get an how much. I am putting a new floor deck in my blackjack. I already have the ply wood done, and need enough to put it down in the boat and a few other small spots. Any guidance is helpful, I just don't want to get too much and am unfamiliar with the various types and their use.

I'd guess 6 quarts of the 127 resin with equal amounts of 606 slow and 610 fast hardener will do the job and then some. Until I bought an epoxy dispenser I used the plastic snow cone style pumps from Raka. I never liked pouring into graduated cups but for a small project it would be okay.
 
Buy the thin epoxy resin (they have thin and thick).

I bought the non-blushing hardener to reduce messing with amine blush, and it has worked well. No idea how it compares to their fast or slow, but working time has been pretty reasonable - starts to heat up after 15-20 minutes in the mid-70s. It is a 2:1 resin to hardener mix ratio.

I've just used graduated cups - best price I found was at US Composites by the sleeve. They also have pretty inexpensive paper mixing cups.
 
I had similar questions when I originally ordered. The guys at Raka said medium and thick are really for thicker finishes, like tabletops, and to use thin if tou want it to flow (as with a boat). I'd guess the same for your purposes... but they actually answer the phone there, so safest to call and ask.
