I'll second Alex's comments. The slow hardener wasn't available when I did
my strakes. Coating them was easy and worked well. Attaching the strake top
however was a royal pain with the regular hardener.
A couple points I noticed, The jeffco hardens much faster if the weather is
warm and humid!
Don't ask me how I know this, but I do.
Since the strake attachment is a "no turning back" event, it would help to
have some extra hands around.
Have all your weights and such ready to go and within reach. Mine took more
weight than I had anticipated due to the higher humidity. I had to find some
more weight FAST.
All in all Jeffco is great. I wish I had the slower hardener at the time, but
I like the product.
