That is about right for Proset 125/229. FGCI laminating resin is about
half that price but about twice the CPS (they don't state any number but
that would be my estimate.) Raka is even thicker.

$60/gal.

Is that about as good as I'm going to do ?

Thank you,

Really? I haven't used it yet, but everything I've heard about Raka is
that it's one of the lower viscocity epoxies on the market. It's
supposed to provide very rapid wet-out.

That has definitely NOT been my experience. I use Proset and West most
but have used Maas, S3 FGCI and Raka. Raka was the thickest. The Maas
low viscosity resin was probably the thinest.
