[NSRCA-discussion] Epoxy question: Key Supplier

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

All of you interested in the details might want to visit the Gougeon Bros website. You will find all info you need to make decisions on what epoxy to use.

The specific materials I have used are the 125 resin and 229 hardener. Not the thinnest available but the next thinnest. You have several choices in either the West Systems or the Pro Set offerings so it depends on how thin you want to go for 100% solids, non-thinned epoxy. Also, their consistency is very good, batch to batch. I've gone through a couple gallons of the stuff in 1 qt quantities over the years and have never had issues with consistency or requirements to change techniques

I have been using Pro Set, another?Gougeon Bros?product, for castings, composite laminations and wing skinning. About the thinnest 100% solids epoxy I have ever seen at around 400 cps. The hardener I use allows about a 70 min pot life and 80% cure after 24 hours. Post cure at moderate temps (150F) definitely helps this material. I've discussed it's characteristics a few times previously in the KF but since the present topic has returned to epoxy, one more?plug doesn't hurt.

Fine all around slow cure epoxy that works as advertised especially the pot life. One of the strongest and lowest density?also.
