Does anyone know of good Australian made fibreglass cloth? E & S? Or just E? Maybe an Australian equivalent of Aerialite? Or the Australian fibreglass equivalent of ATL epoxy, which I’ve heard is just as good as Resin Research. Just getting a bit sick of paying to get everything imported from the States (no offence to anyone over there). Also has anyone tried the Core Fusion blanks yet?
ACI closed down years ago and they only made chop strand, very good chop strand. There is no australian made fibreglass cloth for the surf industry.

try south coast foam and fibreglass (SCFF). they are based on the gold coast i think, it may take a bit of tracking down, they also supply their own blanks, fins etc, i ve been using them here in the uk and find them competetive price wise. they also supply aerialite matting. hope ive been some help
south coast foam sell COLAN which is not too bad. ATL australia sell KINETIC epoxy
Deanbo,
living NZ you have a great composites supplier over there they are a NZ based co called Nuplex, they bought FGI aus some years ago.
Try the Nuplex Aus R180 epoxy with Surf Set hardner, I use this exclusively for exterior laminates.
