He sent me samples of, and I have used a few gallons of UV. truthfully I dont know whether it does much to filter, but I have found it to Have a "synthetic liquid feel". You have to physically move it to where you want it ro go. The original paints much better/smoother. Nothing I have used levels as well as the original. Again much of what we claim could be based on techmique.
Look at Paul's pictures; a dozen different epoxies. Like me he is looking for something that is good, and by using a variety you figure out what each does best.
What I dont like about Aftcote is that it takes 24-48 hours to cure. It yellows worse than most that I have used, it does disperse bubbles and levels well, but feels like a light build.
Take a look at Pac Bay's, a great feel, and brush friendly.
