Polyisocyanurate foam has been a favorite material of pattern builders for years. Now, in 6 foot lengths, and up to 2' thick, you can cut, carve, sand, and sculpt any shape imaginable without gluing numerous sheets together or pouring your own block. Although this foam can be easily CNC machined, it should not be hot wired. Professional results can be achieved when working by hand. With the variety of tools available on our site, you can saw, carve, plane and smooth out your shape. You will then lay layers of fiberglass and resin to protect and strengthen your shape. Finally, you will spray Duratec® Surfacing Primer and buff to a perfect shine. A perfect plug allows for a perfect mold which makes the high gloss, perfect part you want. These are full six foot blocks available in two different thicknesses - one foot and two foot.

A hand held, variable speed air powered chopper gun for coating molds or parts with glass reinforcement. Continuous glass roving is fed into the rear of the gun. The gun then chops the roving into short pieces and deposits them onto the mold. Resin is then applied by brush, roller or sprayed on using a cup gun. The length of the fibers can be varied from 4" down to 5/16". This gun will deposit the equivalent of one layer of 1 oz mat onto a vertical surface without fall-off before wet-out. Ideally suited to quick mold or part build-up once the first layer or two are in place. Use a saturation roller to remove trapped air. New design increases cutter head surface by 32% and increased quantity of chopped material between blade replacements by 33%. Works with #522 Gun Roving or #2293 24K Carbon Tow.

These precision chopped graphite fibers offer an economical alternative for localized reinforcement of high performance parts requiring optimal electrical conductivity, high strength and moduli. Excellent for reducing voids in difficult vacuum bagging applications. Spread the filler in deep cavities or sharp edges of parts and be assured the pressure will squeeze out air. 

System 2000 Epoxy Resin is a medium viscosity, light amber laminating resin that is designed for fabricating parts and other demanding structural applications. Use this system to maximize the physical properties of carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and glass laminates! Test results have proven superiority over other room temperature epoxies. Its low viscosity and great handling characteristics make it a favorite in the shop too!

Three high performance hardener systems are available for the System 2000 resin. 20 minute, 60 minute and 120 minute pot life versions are all options. This added variety allows the fabricator to select the system best suited to the size, complexity, or time-frame of the project. Simple parts which need to be demolded quickly should use the 20 minute hardener. Larger and more complex parts can use either of the other hardeners.

Vacuum Bagging applications would typically warrant the longest 2 hour working time. As with any epoxy system, adhere to the proper mix ratios and maintain an adequate curing temperature of at least 70 degrees F. The cure time will be cut in half for every 10 degrees F that the temperature is raised above 70 degrees F. Purchase a single cure, or buy resin in bulk and order a variety of hardeners to keep on hand for any project. 

Chopped strand mat contains a binder which prevents proper bonding with any epoxy resins. Use our polyester or vinyl ester resins with chopped strand mat.

First, select the amount of System 2000 Resin that you will need. Then select your needed curing agent or combination of curing agents. Remember, these are not exact kits, so be sure you have enough Hardener!

Designed specifically for composites, this rack will hold up to six rolls of fabric and is suitable for even the heaviest materials. This rack is extremely stable and does not require rolls to be counter-balanced. Rack is predrilled to attach casters (sold separately) for portability. Dimensions: Width: 74" - Height (without rolls): 73.5" - Depth: 48" Freight shipping required

This 1/2" ID connector is all that is required to complete a basic installation. Place the connector through the bag, attach tubing, and you're ready to begin! 

Because teak is one of the few woods that can withstand the effects of sea water it has been a favorite in the shipbuilding industry for years. Teak is also used on decks and boat interiors because of its unique ability not to warp or crack. The most beautiful and sought after teak in the world is the Burma Teak. Our Burma Teak Chromaveil™ is designed to faithfully capture the beauty and richness of authentic Burma Teak.
