Re: Alternative To Fiberglassing Pepakura Parts That You Can Use Indoors

I'm glad that someone is looking for something non-toxic. When I started this process a few years ago, I started out knowing nothing and ended up higher than a kite, with subsequent headaches and later ended up with Pneumonia for months from breathing in the fumes. Yeah, I should have known better..... But I was in a hurry.

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.

Ya the resin pump gives out the 4 parts and the hardener pump gives out the 1 part,

I'll have to play with this stuff at some point. If it can take high heat, this might be a great way to do vacuum forming positive tools

Im incredibly interested in ordering some of this stuff. There is only one Smooth-On distributor in Australia sadly Hoping they can get the stuff and it doesnt become an expensive process in shipping.

I live in a unit, and have to do all my work at my partners mothers house ^^; So ive intensively been researching safe methods of reinforcing PEP (By researching, i mean digging through many MSDS forms). So far this epoxamite seems to be the absolute safest method.

Pretty much everything else ive found is either carcinogenic, harmful by inhalation (internal dermatitis + breathing disorders), possible birth defects etc.

so in my books, epoxamite seems pretty damn safe - Especially when compared to other resins. I just wish i could get this stuff locally!!! ><

Re: Alternative To Fiberglassing Pepakura Parts That You Can Use Indoors

i used this for some kurgan armor, i did the front in fiberglass and the back plate in apoximite, for real the smell is kinda sweet but non over powering, the front plate is still smelly after a week... also its light and easy to use... i didnt buy the pumps i just used a scale but the pumps are good for multi use applications...
side note, i dont use fiberglass fabric, i use kevlar and carbon fiber but it still works like a charm...
