Default System Three Sculpwood vs. Abatron WoodEpox

My experience---stiffness of abatron...happens when one waits too long
to apply it. On the contrary, if anything, it is too soft in the
beginning and changes consistency/hardens slowly as it heats up.
"Smoothing" is a different story. If you want to sand less once cured,
I've found that smoothing it with Goof Off (much better that abosolv
abatron's solvent) after applied is a great way to get closer to your
approximate desired form. Like you said, once cured, it is most sanding
friendly.....I have used about 15 gallons of Wood Epox and swear by it.
However, my brother from the same mother, swears by System 3 and
recently we are truly butting heads about it.


Following... I've used the Abatron system before, but it's quite pricey.
I've never used an alternative. How does the price between the two
compare? I've got a lot of 120 year old water damaged windows and wood
work at my house that I really need to start on this summer.
