Doc,
I had the same exact experiance with my first FG job. That was when I went with the West Systems line. I'm sure others are as good. BUT I have found the West product to be soooo easy to dispense and get a good ratio of hardner to resin. Just one pump of each and you can go, if you need to thin it just add some denatured alcohol. Might want to look into that on your next one.

Let me know if you are in the OKC area anytime, we can gather at the local pond.
