West System or woodcraft System 3? Advantages of either?

Long ago, I had used a System 3 product (don't recall which one), but had to
order it, can't find it locally. It was just as good as West System's
G-Flex 650-8, that I, now, specifically use. I started using West Systems
because I can get it locally ($30 per 8 oz box). *West's Marine - West is a
local name, not the same West as the epoxy folks.

I need some, now, but West's Marine is out of it. Three days ago, I ordered
2 X 8 oz boxes from Dicsount Marine, $14.29 each box + $10 shipping.

As to Discount Marine: I can access the order status, via their website...
says it's shipped. I kinna don't like that they haven't sent an email with
a tracking number. No tracking number on their (website) status info,
either.

+1 - I'll check out dadiOH"s link, for future reference.

They have good prices (compared to others) and are easy to buy from. Like
the others, they are resellers. There are only a couple of epoxy
manufacturers and they sell in bulk to resellers who may - or may not - then
add various ingredients to slightly modify the characteristics of the
material.

One caveat, they offer a couple of viscosities, thin and thick. The thin is
like most others, the thick is THICK...not so thick that it won't run but
too thick to saturate glass well. One time I bought a gallon of thick for a
special purpose, wish I hadn't; much easier to just use Cab-o-Sil to
thicken. For top coating already in place glass, the thick is fine.
