Hi JRP3, in what applications do you want to have a thick coating of pure epoxy? I have found epoxy to be very brittle and not that tough when compared to composite. When I have bonded two structural parts together I have usually used cotton flox. Be warned it is tough and almost impossible to sand. West Systems makes a filler that is specifically designed for abrasion resistance. I have never tried or needed it.
