I don't pretend to know....well, anything. With that in mind, I'm just wondering what makes west system, us composites, etc...so much better than other epoxies. General consensus seems to be that all epoxies consist of the same basic ingredients, and that all "marine" epoxies find their roots in industrial epoxies. There are a lot of other products online, mostly for industrial epoxies, and many of them are somewhat less expensive. If an industrial epoxy contains the same ingredients and solvent amounts as other epoxies, why are we paying so much more money for something that says "marine" on the label? If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.
