flight1 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Well that's £24 + vat, a good laminating resin can be had else were for about £22inc for 1.5 kg. like don't forget that the pacer do laminating and glue versions which have additive added to make it stronger so can fill gaps etc I am looking for a budget epoxy glue supplier for 5 min and 30 min, i have noticed that the prices really have gone up. ( please don't suggest poundland it is a recycled/remanufactured epoxy glue and not as strong, no does it bond as well compared to known makes like pacer etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin McIntosh Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Those look like interesting sites. They did not come up when I googled to try and get the type of cloth I wanted but they do not seem to sell that. Just received some more multipurpose resin from ABL Stevens because I know that it is compatible with other products I use. Will star this for the future since the prices appear quite reasonable.

kevin b Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Posted by Barrie Lever on 19/05/2020 18:31:45: Doc Look at Easy Composites, their EL2 resin is pretty good, we are making loads of composite parts with it. I would recommend the above, I do this crap for a living. Regards Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Smith 14 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I've used easy composites but only in small amount so never been hit with extra charges. How do you recycle epoxy to sell in poundland or anywhere else for that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Thanks for the replies but nicht spreken se Deutch. It was twill weave cloth, about 180gm or lighter that I was after. I now have my latest crop of moulds done with what I had/could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the top right of the screen and click the german flag it will all magically turn to British and English. use R@g many years ago(25 years) were good then and still have a fantastic range, was a lot cheaper and you couldn't get it here then especially the range of top end stuff.

Andy Stephenson Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 For twill weave cloth try MBFG They do what they call roving which I think is the same as twill weave. I have used the 81gsm and the 195 gsm cloth to make an engine cowl, it drapes really well. They are an industrial supplier but they do small quantities plus all sorts of laminating resins. Andy.

Martin McIntosh Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I use Sadolin PV67 which is probably the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Stephenson Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Martin, Does the Sadolin PV67 brush out as thinly as the old Tufkote used to without thinning. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Andy, it is the same stuff as far as I am concerned other that leftover stuff seems to last longer in the freezer. It can be thinned with cellulose for spraying too. Barrie etc., I have bought some Rustins plastic coating in satin to use on WW2 models but have not tried it yet. How do you know that I used to fly SSM? Nasty glitchy rubbish. I got sponsored by them for the 1979 F3A W/C`s. Due to overdriving of the Tx output stage, both Tx`s blew up before the comp. costing me my No.1 model, but luckily the other failed on the ground. Sussed the problem with a simple meter and got the local Futaba dealer out of bed very early on the day before the comp. to replace a transistor with a more powerful one. Nervous now? Just a bit but you do not read about that sort of stuff in the mags. Are you the Barrie from SCRCAC whom I made Mewgull spats for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clark 1 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 How are you guys applying the Rustins? I tried it for the first time today and it seems great but I've got a few brush strokes. If spraying, what thinners would you use? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Cellulose thinners, about 10% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clark 1 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Perfect. Thanks Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
