Resin /glassweave price around

Converting liters to US gallons those epoxy prices are only a little higher
than over here. About $24/L for "premium" brands.

If my calculations are correct 5.6 oz/yd twill would be the equivelant. I
am paying about $6.80/yd in 60" width which works out to about $4.90/M2

I think that Epoxi technique today is rather well known. It shouldn't be any
major difference between big brands and the more unknown.

If I got it right bast prices in UK is much lower???

The glass weave differe a hole lot....

It may be due to the weakness of our US $ but since a few months we
get more orders from Europe at our online store:

Even with shipping, our epoxy and glass prices are lower BUT before
you jump on what looks like a good deal, check import duties.
I would say that once all taxes are paid, prices in Europe and North
America are very close.

Typical prices in the UK as follows

£5 per Kg for polyester for qty up to 20 Kgs . Cheaper for reblended
poly which may be okay for none critical work

See <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.resin-supplies.co.uk/Pricelist.htm" target="_blank">http://www.resin-supplies.co.uk/Pricelist.htm</a>


£78 for 7.5 Kg for epoxy see

Both include catalyst and are pre accelerated.

The above are typical prices for the quantities I am using for
building a 5 metre dinghy.

Other prices sources (for UK) would be welcome information.
