Hey, as mentioned in another thread, doing a fin repair which is my first EPS repair. The sources of resins here (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) are limited, basically to one place that I know of. Industrial Plastics and Paints carries three lines of epoxy resin:
(http://www.ippnet.com/EN/main/products/FIBREGLASS/4506.html is the page that shows this product information)
System Three
Industrial Formulators
West System
These all seem to be Marine grade epoxy resins… I’m just not sure what would be the best to use for a surf application, if any. My only other option is to try to buy some resin from one of the local shaper/repair shops, but I haven’t been able to get through to them as they have random hours… So if none of these seems like good options then I’ll just keep trying to get to them. The folks at the shop are very unhelpful and all they know (or are willing to divulge) is that they carry a ‘surf resin’ which is what I should use for everything surf related. This is just a finishing polyester resin, so of no help to me in this case. Their wisdom having been tapped out, I turn to Swaylocks.
Anyone with any experience or insight into these resins?
