They are similar to all the other epoxies. I find them all to work pretty well.

Hi Bob.
I used to love the Epoxy Coatings epoxy. I found it gave a really tough finish. the One Coat Hibuild is a bit heavier than Flex Coat. It was I believe a popular finish in Japan, but I don't know if others have taken over since it has been some time since I have used the stuff. From what I remember It didn't yelow too quickly. As far as I know its never been available in smaller quantaties and I had to buy it by the gallon. It was however a little more touchy in regards to being affected by contaminents than FlexCoat. I've often wondered why I have not seen it mentioned more often.

Earl from what I have been able to find out, It is mostly sold in large quantities. May be that is why most builders do not use it
