Dondkim,

You can view the on line catalog @ www.raka.com[URL].

I have found their product to be very economical and it's performance has been very good.

I would add a note of caution here when using epoxy for a top coat, it is better to have a sloe cure than a fast one. The reason being that as epoxy sets up it heats. The faster the hardener the faster the heat build up. This could cause blistering or bubbling of the finish coats on the plug. I would also recommend spinning the plugs slowly so the epoxy will not sag to one location. Depending on which hardener is used will determine the setting time (a common mistake here is to add more hardener thinking it will react faster, the result is a very soft finished product)

You may however mix two hardeners tovary the setting time.
After it cures it take approximately seven days to acheive full strength.
