Recommendation? Epoxy Resin

[Travis Talboys]

I'm hoping that someone here might have a suggestion for a deep pour epoxy resin with a long work time, other than Alumilite? Google and Amazon have me running in circles.

Thanks,
Travis

I used Resinpal 1717 N3, but dont know about availability in the states.

Other then that and instead of a google search you could go the homepages of producers and compare the spec sheets.

Call the tech folks at West System or System Three. They can give you the resin and hardener combo for your needs. A vacuum setup also helps. to get it deep into wood with cracks and voids.

I have used West System 105 resin and the 209 extra slow hardener. Used at cooler room temp ( 70F/20C) it takes a day to harden and a week to fully cure.
The System Three Clear Coat works well, too.
