epoxys?

Hi have enyone tried to mix LS supreme with PAC-BAY rodsmith finish?
I would like to put on the first coat (wet the treads and fill the guidefoot tunnels) with LS and within 24 hours do the topcoat with PAC-BAY finish.
Can this be done or will the finishes react to eachother? Anyone tried this?
Thanks

There will be no problems. They are both epoxy two part finishes

Why put two different finishes on? Two coats of either one will do the job. No need for two finishes.

Hi Bill thanks for your respond.
I really started to like the PAC-bay finish+it´s easyer to get for me around here. BUT however I still have almost full bottles of LS around ( big bottles) and I thought I get rid of it this way. I´ve been doing fine with LS so far so maybe iI just use it the way I´ve used too, it was just a tought I had. I think PAC-BAY cures faster and leaves a "shinier" surface than LS thats why I want to have it to be the final coat. Then again I really like the thread penetrating properties of the LS ( fills guidefoot tunnels well) and it forces the air out of the thread better than PAC-BAY finish I think, thats why I want it to be the first coat.
I´ve done both coats with LS and both coats with PAC-BAY with good success , maybe I could mix the best properties of both finishes with results I really like? Just another bright idea I had on one of those sleepless nights.
Anyway thanks Bill...
