Easy to find the right ratio of resin to hardener

I like System 3 epoxy. The 2:1 ratio is easy to use for small quantities. I buy a tin of medicine measuring cups in the pharmacy and use them to measure the two components, pour the result into a clean cat food jar, mix it up, done. Medicinal cups are very cheap by the hundreds, so I throw them away at the end of the job. I find this system much more reliable than West Systems epoxy pumps. If (if) any of these pumps inject air, you have no idea how much resin or hardener to add to get the right

Pros
  • Used for almost all epoxy applications

  • Doubt

I used to like the product, but now something is wrong.

I am not satisfied with this product although I have used it extensively on a kayaking project I am working on. My experience so far with this epoxy has been that the cure time matched what was stated on the bottle. This bottle supplied by Revain.com is a completely different color than the exact same product that was sent to me via pygmyboats.com.

Worked for me but MUCH slower than advertised

I would give it five stars but as a few other reviewers here have noted , The release time was not as fast as announced. My applications were still sticky after 16 hours at 75 degrees. I tried mixing at a 2 to 1 ratio and mixing thoroughly. I use it to fill holes in pine knots in floorboards because I don't want to cut those knots out of long boards. (Mix epoxy with dry coffee grounds for paint, which is common for this). During application, I noticed that the gel time was over an hour, not 30…

Pros
  • 30 minutes (100g mix) gel time at 25°C (77°F)
Cons
  • Slightly shrunk
