I've had great luck so far with Dupont Chroma Clear if you guys have trouble finding PPG in your local vicinity. Runs about $110/quart with the added fast activator around my area.

Quoted from sethbenjamin:I haven't done this yet, but one could take any flat bed scanner and remove the lid. I bought one of those old HP jobs on eBay but cannot for the life of me find software to enable me to use it. Others don't seem to have been shut down the way I have been, but FWIW, a newer scanner, even if you have to bust off the lid, might be way easier to deal with at this point.
I run mine through Photoshop elements...HP still has the drivers available to download.
Quoted from sethbenjamin:None of the drivers worked on the old Windows 7 computer my mother in law was throwing out. And there are zero drivers for Mac, of course. Would love to be able to *use* the damn thing, but I sank a couple hours into the project a while back and got frustrated and haven't revisited it...
If you could borrow a slightly newer laptop off someone for a day, you should be able to make it work.
You're looking for an HP 4600 series scanner... They have been out of production for close to a decade. You'll have to watch eBay... And make absolutely sure it has the adapter cord, or you will have a brick on your hands. And the adapters are unobtanium.
Quoted from pinheadpierre:I picked up a dirt cheap laptop running XP. It drives the old hp scanners just fine all by itself with the native scanning interface. Look on Ebay or in thrift stores. Pretty much nobody wants a computer that old, so they go cheap.
It must be something about Windows 7...my windows 10 laptop runs it just fine. I'll have to try it on my Windows 7 desktop sometime.

I built a Chesapeake Light Craft wooden kayak kit a few years back using the MAS super clear epoxy. I would much rather just shoot 2-pac than go through the process using the epoxy. 2-pac is much easier to work with!
