Hi Doug,
We have Systems Three made near our area and similarly much cheaper
than West systems.
I suggest calling EPS and speaking directly with a tech about what
you wish to do with their product. You will probably find a wealth of
information and gain trust, if warranted, in what they have to offer.
It's really a pretty simple job but a few pitfalls to consider
beforehand, are really clear or slight honey colour okay? and do you
want a high wetting action like a furniture style epoxy?
It sure doesn't sound like an application where you need the
specialized developments that WEST is good at (which is what you pay
the premium for).

Thanks for the input folks. I should have been clearer in my
original email. I am looking for input from people who have
experience with "exp system" brand epoxy (https://www.expsystem.ca).
It is manufactured in Peterborough Ontario and is widely available
in local chandlers. It is almost half the cost of the comparable
West System products. I have a lot of experience with West System
and think they make great products, but they are a little pricey.
One of the reasons I am replacing the existing cabin sole is that
there are places where water has penetrated the finish and
compromised the ply. It might have been caused by poor application
of the varnish or failure to maintain the finish by the previous
owner, however I would feel better applying a 2 or 3 coats of epoxy
before I move on to varnish.
Cheers,
