Where do you buy your Epoxy resin from

[Clive S]

The System that we seem to use over here is the Wests System 105 / 209 http://www.westsystem.com/ss/use-guides/
it is a very slow curing hardener about 10 hours but you have to be careful with the temperature.

That link you posted doesn't seem to have the 209 either! The only place I've seen it listed only has the 1.45kg tin and I don't want to buy a big one as it's just a waste. I may have to price up importing it. I just don't understand why the 209 is so hard to get when all the others seem readily available.

Cheers Clive and Bert, Clive that was exactly what i was looking for :)
One more thing...... Can you check my calculations to make sure I'm right

2 rails 135cm x 4cm wide + 2 bridges @ 77.5cm x 4cm with depth of 6mm
(135+135+77.5+77.5)X4X0.6 = 1020cm3 = 1.02 Litres

1.02 Litres / 4 = 0.255 Litres 209 Hardener
@3:1 ratio by volume = 0.765 Litres of Resin.

Seems the weights are not quite 1 litre to 1 Kg as the manual states the ratio is 3.5:1 by weight.

Regards,

Charlie

Frame is steel, Gantry is all aluminium

The math is sound :-)

I found that my box section 1850x120x80x4 mm was + 2 mm bend in the middle by welding heat.

I had a +/- 1mm error in spirit level. over 1850 mm...

It all add up. so 6mm thickness... i am not sure.. i did not have the best of spirit levels
So on the ends i have 8 and 7 mm thickness now.. 5.5 or so in centre.

I had some leaks while pouring.

Mostly because of heat from the shop heater on the channel sides.
Wood dried and bended.

Can see through under the square rails through the epoxy now
Make sure to use packing tape on the sides ... best tip ever.

Ok hope this helps.

I have steel gantry so more pouring on there for me.

Get the A pack.. it is 50 gbp or so.
