Where do you buy your Epoxy resin from

[driftspin]

Hi Guys,

Where do you all buy the West systems Epoxy and hardener from and is there a handy calculator for how much I need? I have looked in the manual but it mentions volume with use of fillers which I wont be using. I just want to make sure I order the right amount as this stuff ain't cheap.

Cheers,

Charlie

Hi CharlieRam,

I guess west systems is proven route.

I was unable to get west systems tropical hardner so i looked for an alternative.
I found 3kg at 75 something euros
6 hrs pot life at 21 celsius.
About the same end strenght/hardness.



I found that the thicker the film was the harder it was to delaminate it from the steel.

I ended up pouring 5+mm thick 6 cm wide.

so a simple length x width x height will calculate volume.

I have a 185 cm x 100cm bed and ended up needing about 2.7 liter ~ 2.7kg.



i used 2m extra leveling channels.


so about 7.5 meters of 60mm wide 5+mm deep epoxy

I made an error during last pour and had to do it all over... so.. bought 6 kg in total.

Hope that helps.


4cm width 4mm thick is the minimum for 20mm rail as can be found on this forum.



Grtz Bert.
