Well, I went with the West System and am very impressed with the result. I used the slow curing hardener and had plenty of time to spread the epoxy with a 7" roller with a 1/8" foam roller recommended by the seller. Was about $156.00 for gallon of resin, quart of hardener, throw away brush and the foam roller. Went on really well and am satisfied with the product so far.
However, after using goggles, a respirator, long sleeve shirt and chemical resistant gloves I got an extreme allergic reaction from the epoxy. Hands, face, arms legs and private parts. Really nasty. Went to the doctor for a steroid shot on day 2. After five days still waiting for it to clear up. So be careful with this stuff. Only got one coat on but will have to do for now. Will get a semi hazmat suit the next time I use this stuff. Might even have to hire somebody to do it. Thanks for the suggestions.
