I tried this one:
http://easycomposites.co.uk/#!/resin-ge ... Resin.html
But initial tests revealed that it's somewhat softer, fingernails leave marks on it, and it's hardness is Shore 88-92A. Also, it gels quite fast, so if you want to degas it, there's very little time for error.
They do have a tougher resin, which I overlooked:
http://easycomposites.co.uk/#!/resin-ge ... resin.html
Which is Shore 75 - 80D, supposedly, much tougher.
I'd love to try it, and will probably order some when I'll need an epoxy refill.
regards,
pq
