Default Valspar epoxy?? Check this out!!

I read an add on a list and I'm picking this stuff up, ad read:

I aquired a company and along with it some products that I do not need or use. Rather than throw them away I thought someone might get some use out of it. The epoxy is from a company called Valspar and the Tint is from a company called Concrete Coatings Inc. There is about 15 Gallons of epoxy and 40 gallons of tint all in 5 gallon pails. This is an all or nothing offer. Take it all or none.


Will this stuff be of any use???

What type of epoxy is it ?
Does it have the hardner, or is the hardner available at a reasonable cost?
Is this epoxy going to be compatible with the paints and other material you use.
If you can answer these questions then you know the answer.

It does come with hardner, can't answer the rest of the questions. I guess I'm asking if anyone's ever heard of it or used it before. I don't mind trying it out to see and can report back. If it works, start buying your empty quart cans and sending them down for a fill as there is no way possible to use 15 gallons of this stuff prior to a shelf life (assuming there is one). I pick it up on Saturday.

Go to http://www.valspar.com and try to match what you are getting to the products on the page.

I was actually able to find it on a google search a few minutes ago, not promising what I found, but you never really know until you try it. If anything, certainly it can be used making molds after you lay down the 1099, this will be some savings in using west systems. I have no idea what I can do with all the pigment, that is more pigment than everyone in this forum could ever use (and yes I'll be willing to share once I get pictures up of what all this is).
