Hi Paul. Is that sunny Belfast in Ireland?

Previously I have only been able to get six ounce (200gm) glass from Waller and Wickham in Dublin. But for my current project I am using four ounce (135gm) which I got form Robins Timber in the UK.

I also managed to find Mas epoxy in the UK from Chinawind yachts. I am preferring it to the west which I always used previously. Two to one mix ratio is much easier to dispense and wetout seems to be easier.

It is so great to see another builder in Ireland. There are a few of us, but not many.
