Default MAS vs. WEST SYSTEM

I use US Composites. Fwiw, west and none of these brands, us
composits included, actually make epoxy. They just package it. Giant
chemical companies like Dupont are the ones that actually make epoxy.
So I shop for price and us composites is far cheapr than west. And I
have used their products on a number of projects and it has performed
well in every case. Dealers of course don't care as much about price
because they just add it to your bill.

I'm looking for a epoxy resin I have heard some good things about both the
MAS and WEST SYSTEM... Any input? Or just preference?

THanks


I have some experience with West and at one point in my life, actually
built a small boat using their cold mold system. Worked like a champ.
I know that my dealership uses West System products for all their
'glass work.



Same here. I used it this spring to repair some fiberglass damage and it
worked great.
