epoxy resin brands

[TenE307]

i have been doing research on different kinds of epoxy resin. (or opening a can of worms). it seems like all companies have their own mixtures and other advantages or hidden surprises.<br />this is where i have been looking at different places. <br /><br /> http://www.oneoceankayaks.com/Resource.htm <br /><br />so far i have narrowed it down to either<br />1. us composites for all in one shopping<br />2. epoxyproducts.com (not on resource website)for better info on there site and colder temp epoxy.<br /><br />any other suggestions (i would like cheapest and best, but will pay a little more for a better product, you get what you pay for.)<br /><br />please help need to order soon and all i am doing is confusing myself.

Re: epoxy resin brands

the closer you get to a 1 to 1 ratio mix the better.. <br /><br />it's just better epoxy.. more soilds & does not amine blush ( wax up ) when cured..<br /><br /> wax ( amine blush ) is not desirable for alot of reasons ..especially for appling subsequance coats..as for the wax has to be removed..<br /><br />plus it's just easier to mix 1 to 1 .. an is worth it if'n only for that..!!<br /><br />the only 1 to 1 mix i ever found was thru <br /> <br /> clark craft .. <br /><br />i have used gobs of gallons of that stuff an like it.. good price too..<br /><br />it only comes one temp.. good 20 mins pot life at 90 deg f.. need longer time when hot.. store it inside a/c or a cooler..<br /><br />one good thing about this product .. it's never cloudy .. always cure clear.. an it's never brittle.. <br /><br />on my wooden boats.. if'n i go over a rock or log or somethin',,it never scuffs/cracks/ruptures.. it just indents with the wood indentations of he obsticle..

Re: epoxy resin brands

I just used a 1:1 mix 2 weeks ago but I don't recall the brand name. I'll check it out and let you know. It worked real well and easy to mix.
