Resin selection for Bamboo fibre based composite structure

Hello

As part of my university course I have been given the task of considering the feasibility of using Bamboo to create a vehicle chassis structure.

To investigate this I am looking to create some mini prototypes for testing.

What I would like some guidance with, is the selection of a resin to provide the optimum absorption and structural integrity for my application.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards

For a project like this, I would recommend our EL2 Epoxy Laminating Resin It has a good all round performance as well as it had good wetting out characteristics and is available with 2 hardener speeds.
