Re: Alternative To Fiberglassing Pepakura Parts That You Can Use Indoors
Thanks for sharing, Stef. I bought a trial kit of this about 3 months ago and I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. :lol Mostly because i didn't realize I had to buy the pumps separate. Have some on order now so I'll be trying it soon.
Ever try applying it to polyurethane resin? Have thought about using it as a backing on helmet castings to add rigidity. But not sure it would bond.

Hey Kev,
I had a crack on a urethane part and sealed it with EpoxAmite and it looks like it fused together fine. Really nice result. Also Vice versa.
The smooth-on rep should've let you know to get the pumps.
It's pretty thick lol.

Stealth! Man you keep me going with all your help. But now my wife is singing your praises since the garage won't have that awesome resin smell anymore!

Now she will only complain the about the dust.
anyways, it's a great product indeed. I love it!
I'm just passing on the knowledge that was passed on to me
Thanks to VersionUP and Matt (SurrealStudios)
I'm just bringing the option out to you guys if you haven't heard about it.
I don't mind doing it at all :thumbsup

plus the one good thing about EpoxAmite is it doesn't get brittle when it puddles like polyester resin. I also saw someone using this with a paint gun, but I can't remember who it was. It also have a high compressive strength from what I've seen.

you can get HVLP guns with different nozzles and needles for stuff with high viscosity.

Sounds cool. I've been doing large Fiberglass/Polyester Resin pulls for a few months now and welcome something I can work on indoors. Only concerns are that it's twice the cost of polyester resin and has a 6-8 hour cure time vs. 90 min.

Will this damage foam if you put it on top of foam?

Re: Alternative To Fiberglassing Pepakura Parts That You Can Use Indoors
I tried a little piece. It just creates a layer of plastic on top and bonds well. Doesn't damage it. It would crack if you over flex it obviously since its plastic.
It would be good for sealing the inside where you join the seams.
Kinda defeats the purpose of having a cost effective foam suit though if you throw this product on the list of materials.

i'm going to look into this so i can do the work on the porch without the house smelling like resin. Isn't it rather ironic that it's made here in PA yet there are no distributors in the state? Nearest to me is Michigan and Columbus ohio.

Noticed the web site says the pumps dispense the proper amount with no need for weighing. You find them to be accurate enough?

the pumps measure out the perfect amount per pump, 1 pump of resin and then one pump of the hardener, so if you use say 3 pumps of resin then you will also need 3 pumps of hardener, makes the mixing pretty easy

Re: Alternative To Fiberglassing Pepakura Parts That You Can Use Indoors
using the scale. It doesn't seem very accurate that each pump gives out the same amount
maybe it doesn't really matter?
Then - 1 pump with part A could be the 4 parts to the one pump of part b which is the 1 part?
I guess that's what they mean.
