Not for glasswork, unless it was gonna be exposed and clear coated like a finish cloth over wood or something like that. Its usually their 127 low viscosity with tropical or slow. Alotta times ill use the slow for fillets so it sets up quicker and can glass right over it without pushing it all out. Vertical layups ill put some slow in too so it doesnt all drain out before it gels. U can mix the hardeners to get whatever u want. This time of year will mostly be slow hardener for me.
I will use some of the UV to rebuild the teak anchor locker door though. Then itll be clear coated with awlgrip or similar. Im gonna do a couple “pours” in a shallow tray to glue all the pieces together and leave a nice flat face...
