Jacques,
I am familiar with the West 105 resin and associated hardners. How does the
System 3 compare? I have had trouble finding the time and money to become
expert enough trying different epoxies. West is running me around $80 a
gallon including the hardner, but it works really well for the stictch and
glue boats like the PK78 and the Nymph I am now completing. I would dearly
love to lower my cost. Will/can you advise us in a way that the non-chemist
would appreciate and understand the answer? You are an expert boat builder
and designer. I value your opinion.
Thankyou,
Greg Luckett

Our System Three resin sells for a lot less: $ 39.00 a gallon per 5
gallons.

I am not certain of the exact viscosity because it depends on the
hardener.
The resin is around or below 600 centipoise. In all cases, I would test a
sample: viscosity is only one factor and viscosity is really difficult to
measure anyway. The standard is Haake but who knows what is used?
I would test.

Once you go above 15 gallons, we can supply Phase 2 which has a lower
viscosity.

I need 5 to 10 gal of a light low viscosity epoxy [approx 600 cps @ 70
deg Fahrenheit] and have not discovered anything for less than about
$60/gal.

Is that about as good as I'm going to do ?

Thank you,
