Mas is a 2:1 product. I am OK with that for most applications and to be honest, it is a whole lot easier to work with if you don't want to spring for the pump system, but it isn't a fair apples to apples comparison to comapare it to higher ratio products like the West (which Defender does have for less than West, but I guess West would match). That's why I mentioned the 4:1 stuff as an example. The lower the ratio, the more "stuff that isn't epoxy solids" that ends up on your hull. So the Mas is an example of what I was talking about - a different tier of product. I think they are in the middle between West and the cheap stuff. I wish West carried more of such products rather than forcing me to either get high end or go elsewhere.
