FYI, MAS epoxies claim that their system has no amine blush.  I haven't yet tried their products, so I can't verify this, but I'll definitely give their system a try the next time I purchase epoxy.  Up until this point I've used WEST.

Hello Gardner,   Did you pick up resin in person of have it shipped ?  What did you think of the store, I have never delt with them but since it is in driving distance from me I will probably visit them the next time I need fiberglass or epoxy resin.  I will have to check with them if they can get the Hydropel Ro15 vinyl ester resin infusion resin I am using for float hulls.   I removed one of the float hulls yesterday and will be using it for a jig for hull panels to make new resin infused hulls.  I will let you know when I am actually doing the resin infusion later this winter if anyone is interested in seeing the process.   George Kuck Chestertown, MD   PS, I had to deal with the "amine blush" precipitate when I built my TT 720 with System Three resin. --- On Tue, 10/14/08, Gardner Pomper <gardner@networknow.org> wrote: From: Gardner Pomper <gardner@networknow.org> Subject: Re: [harryproa] Re: Really fast and sloppy prototype proa questions To: harryproa@yahoogroups.com.au Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2008, 11:47 AM Hurray! I corresponded with the vendor, who said that the tackiness was probably the amine blush. I have only dealt with West epoxy before, and their blush is not tacky, so I was concerned. In any case, either giving it an extra day, or washing the blush off with water and a scouring pad, seemed to do the trick. I turned the ww hull over and gave the bottom a coat of epoxy and a layer of 6 oz glass, and the sides a second coat of epoxy, so I am now basically done with that hull until I finish the law hull and crossbeams and I need to make the sleeves to mount the crossbeams (not permanently) to the ww hull. Thanks to everybody for the information and encouragement. I was pretty worried. - Gardner York, PA   Recent Activity  5 New Photos Visit Your Group Y!7 Toolbar Get it Free! easy 1-click access to your groups. Yahoo!7 Groups Start a group in 3 easy steps.
