Default Low priced Epoxy

I have, several, years ago used it to rebuilt an outside rudder on a 8.5
Tanzer.

After the refurbishing was completed, I applied two coats of epoxy paint.

Yesterday, I have looked at the rudder and after all these years, it is in
very good condition.

After looking carefully, I found no signs of structural weakness, cracks or
any other defects.

No to mention that an outside rudder takes lost of beating in a following
sea and going astern. This is my 2¢ worth’s. Maybe someone else can say
the same thing about other epoxy formulators. People that sells epoxy are
not making it they are formulating it. West, East, System3, Raka and others
are buying the same basic raw material.

I saw a low priced epoxy from US Composites. Anyone please give me some
opinion about this epoxy product? Is this product comparable in quality
with expensive WEST system?

Thanks,
