Matrix's 'greener epoxy'
« on: January 26, 2014, 03:34:19 PM »
Hey all I’ve got back into sailing after about 10 years away after finding new and interesting ways of scaring myself. The only slight downer I’spose is I’ve gone back to my origins and currently fixing up a National 12. It is something radical from the early days of Jo Richards drawing board and has a daggerboard ;o) http://www.national12.org/boats/index.php?action=view&value=2905 . I wouldn't mind doing a bit cherubing probably at a ‘Blasting day’, so I hope you will all forgive me.

Anyway I’m posting to find out if anyone has used Matrix’s green epoxy http://www.matrix-composites.co.uk/products-greenpoxy.html ? Also is it any good?

Thanks
Smilie

Hope subversion is coming along ok. We are back in cherubs again!!  If you find out if that epoxy is any good I might start using it. Is it cheaper than west.  2445 is nearly done now hole is fixed epoxy and carbon tape just needs restart and varnish.
So I now need another cherub project for me this time not my boy

If a '97 Bistro is of interest then it could be worth contacting jasonlemasurier (PM by this forum or look up his email from the members list).

"This way UP" could be sailed tomorrow, but needs alot of TLC and probably a different rudder. Currently sitting on a trolley in a drive near Babbacoombe, but I could get it to Bristol if we had a solid collection date (you'd also be welcome to come for a blast on Chew if you made it a Sunday collection).
