The last time I bought any materials I believe they came from Merton's.

I have a number of deck hardware projects and I'd like to use an economical alternative to West System Epoxy.

What supplier and epoxy resins are you currently using?

 

[MarkSF]

I just buy West System from whoever is cheapest online (via Google shopping). Seriously, it's not like you're building a boat, how much can you be using?

I went with US Composites myself.

For general marine resin, McDonalds Hardware has stuff they advertise for $19 a gallon. For something that needs a bit more certainty...I go to Merrit Marine Supply and get some good stuff. These are local suppliers here in Florida.

$19/gal.??
Bulk polyester, I suppose!?!?
For epoxy and glass,fillers and tools, my money's on WWW.fiberglass site.com
Fella up state from me does hot rod parts, cycle stuff and is well respected ion the motor community. It was his recommendation to go to the above site, and boy! I'm glad. FResh.epoy Resin at half the price! glass at 1/4 of WM packages. and welcome info and instructions.
Just check it out.

I have always used system three resins for my strip built boats with good results.

Yep. Again, I dont use it for important jobs, but for building stuff that may need just some glass and filler:

Raka epoxy has a good reputation in boatbuilding circles. I use their 127 resin and 350 non-blushing hardener.

Raka is not available in stores- you have to order directly from them, online or by phone or fax. They offer prompt service, business-sensible website and reasonable pricing.

I use Progressive Epoxy, search on line and you will get their site.
