207 Special Coating Hardener
This hardener was especially developed for use with WEST SYSTEM Brand =
105 Resin in coating applications where an exceptionally clear, =
moisture-resistant, natural wood finish is desired. Cures to a light =
amber color, similar to traditional spar varnishes. An ultraviolet =
inhibiting additive improves the resistance of a WEST SYSTEM 105/207 =
mixture to sunlight, but the cured epoxy surface will still require the =
additional protection of a quality UV-filtering varnish. 207 is designed =
to self level for smooth finishes......
