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..

They are about ready to give it a proper title and offer it up for sale. I am just about to get 65 meters of the stuff and this is the most I have had in one go, as they were still fine tuning the formulation I guess and are now confident that this is as close to production ready as it ever will be.. They are also testing another material at the moment with better clarity which I also tested and it shows promise but does need a little more time on that one and this one is so new I only got 0.3 of a meter of the stuff to test!

Sorry it seems to be taking a while to be launched but I guess they are making sure it all works and have been doing some out life testing after one customer had a problem when it was shipped although I do think that was more a shipping problem with delays and hot warehouses than a material issue.

Trust me guys it is worth the wait and seems to make VTF261/ Easypreg  look out dated.  

Please let me know when its available!  Is it possible to get a small sample of your 65 yards?
