Been given a brand new material to test which gives a perfect pin hole free finish....  I have to admit until now the best material has been VTF261 (Easypreg by another name) but the cost has driven me to use other materials. If you buy VTF direct you have to order 50sq/m as a minimum order so buying Easypreg is the only other alternative source for the material.. So at a reasonable quantity you are looking at just under £83 per meter to buy.. The material I have just tried will be cheaper and after testing it this week works every bit as well as VTF (easypreg).

I have a contract to make dive tank covers I had to use a material I was supplied which I knew would need to be lacquered. I tried the new material and was impressed with the results.. I have used another material and had parts 95% as good as VTF and perfectly acceptable to my usual customers as it is out of the mould. But this was flawless....

Once I have been given permission to let people know about it I will. But for now it is a material that is close to launch and not yet available.


Here are two covers I made. One with each material..

This one is a PRF RF464. This is fresh material which arrived this week...
 

This is the new material which arrived this week too.....


Sorry the photos are not the best as these are just from my phone's camera.... 



No pin holes at all.... The down side is the customers supplied mould is now the weak link for a great part... He is now having a new mould made which will be finished to a proper gloss and any imperfections will be removed..
