Not sure how long this stuff has been around but I am impressed. It sets using either UV rays (3-5 minutes) or MEKP (30 minutes).
It arrived by FedEx today so I decided to make a new hatch cover. I used 1/2 ply. Sealing both sides and all 4 edges took a total of 30 minutes before I was sanding the one or two runs I had. I did this in two stages, didn't even need to clean my brush between stages!).
First layer of cloth was wetted and I let it sit for 30 minutes to 'self level' before taking it outside into the sun. Rock hard in 5 minutes.
The sealer they sell, will apparently work on teak (I have not tried it) and although they say the epoxy is UV resistant, I will be painting the hatch cover so will not be able to verify this.
So I knocked out a hatch cover in a couple hours which would have normally taken a few days (if in a heated shed). Like I said....I am impressed!
Normal disclaimer...No affiliation and all that.
I tried both the wood sealer and the gloss epoxy.
