I have been making laminates using Linnen material and EC laminating epoxy and it works OK. I do a hand layup and the squeeze out the excess resin in a press. The thickness is 25mm and the max size about 200mm x 50mm
I would like to try a resin that is water clear and UV stable such as EC Polyurethane casting resin.
Is Easy Composites Polyurethane resin suitable for this application or is there anything else suitable?
I suspect that I wont have long enough to work unless the resin is thin enough to soak through a ready made stack of cloth. I would also like to know if the resin will stay in the laminate, is it so thin it will all run out leaving it dry?
Thanks
Mike
Edit. I am not keen on using polyester as I will be working in our kitchen and wifey no likey the smelly
