Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I know, people here think that this stuff is expensive. And that is because they are ARTISTS, not BOATERS. Wait until someone take the same product and puts it in a box written "marine" on it, you'll see. For a boater, this stuff is a hidden gem. I was looking for a better alternative than the overpriced marine-tex and other crappy epoxy available in the marine world, not even because of the price, but because of: 1/ the crazy toxicity of the marine products 2/ the ridiculously short working time 3/ the hard to smooth, impossible to shape texture 4/ the necessity to sand forever after it dries (because you couldn't get it perfectly to shape). 5/ the waste of half of the product on the mixing surface and mixing stick, and the other half while sanding the excess (yes, I know, that makes 100%. I'm exaggerating, but just a little) THIS PRODUCT IS A MIRACLE. Let me list here the amazing benefits of this product: 1/ it is epoxy. This means super strong, waterproof, UV-resistant, can be used inside, outside, underwater, under the water line, on wood, on fiberglass, on metal, on whatever you throw at it. Epoxy rules. 2/ it is EASY to mix and work with. As easy as play-doh. 3/ it is VERY EASY to smooth/shape/blend! just put soapy water on your finger and it becomes a magic wand. you can blend pieces together, smooth them out, just by passing a finger on top. Crazy. 4/ there is a GREAT working time of over 2 hours. No rush, mistakes can be corrected easily. 5/ there is virtually NO WASTE, as every little piece of it can be collected and reused (within the 2 hours). This makes this product infinitely cheaper than any other epoxy mix, where the waste is the major part of the product. 6/ it doesn't create an expensive mess. It is easy to clean, easy to apply, easy, easy, easy. 7/ it SAVES A TON OF TIME. The ability to smooth it, reuse it, cut it, modify it, work on it without rushing, makes it possible to create a finish product in one step, with no need for sanding, no need for cleaning (both can be very time consuming with regular epoxy / fiberglass). 8/ it is NOT TOXIC like other epoxy! No crazy fumes when mixing, and the product won't burn a hole through your hands if you hold it. In fact, you can be in direct contact without feeling anything, and cleaning your hands after is a breeze. No more working with a respirator and gloves! As a disclaimer, I'd say that I don't know for a fact that it is not toxic, but it doesn't feel or smell toxic in any way. If you've been working with marine-tex, you'll know what i mean. 9/ Of course it dries by itself, which is normal for an epoxy, but I guess that if you're an artist, you care about that (as opposed to clay). This stuff is my new religion. Seriously. One thing, though: it is NOT WHITE. it is a light shade of gray, very pleasant, but not a white. However, it is epoxy, and can be tinted, painted, stained, varnished, whatever you need to do to color match (which is always necessary anyways, even for white on white). BOATER FELLOW, DIYers, Homeowners, BUY THIS STUFF! As for artists, I don't know how it compares to other products, but my guess is that it will be pretty hard to beat this champ.
