Epoxy Resin
« on: June 09, 2009, 04:21:00 PM »
Right, I know you might think this a wierd question coming from an ex boat builder... but where do people recomend buying their epoxy resin from? I haven't had to buy any for a good few years as have previously had a keg to hand! I only need enough for a mast repair and some bimbling so a kilo will be enough.

Hit me with your ideas folks!

Yes Matrix in Bristol.

But if it's only 1 kg it's easier to get a 1kg West System pack from who ever you local Chandeler is? It's about £27 these days isn't it?

Edit: you could always use these guys....

I've used them in the past and be happy with the service. 10%off at the moment. But delivery is £6.00 for up to 2kg > 3 Days & £9.00 for next Day.

We end up paying a fortune for delivery, as it is 'hazardous'.

Starting from where you are, there is a branch of Scott Bader where you can buy west over the counter in plymouth. They also do slow hardener. It is by the west end of the Plym Bridge.

I am heading down to Scott Bader tomorrow to buy some stuff. Can anyone help me out with posting me a metre or 2 of Peel Ply as that is being a pain in the arse to get and I need it asap. I will obviously pay the required postage and cost in either stirling or nationals redeemable beer tokens!
