Group: Forum Members Posts: 16, Visits: 566	Hi, Could anyone recommend a good, easily available In Mould Clear coating? and one that is compatible with the EL2 and IN2 resins from EC. I have found a 2k polyurethane product from HP-Textiles ( http://www.hp-textiles.com/shop/product_info.php?info=p770_750g-in-mould-coating---hp-imc-.html , but they are based in Germany and I would prefer a UK based supplier(perhaps EC could add this product? :-) ) Many Thanks

Dunno if its what you want, but thats the way i understand "in mould coating". Hope it helps. Hi Joe, Yeah I have seen the latest video and I am very interested in the polyester gel coat, I have asked when this product would be available from EC and I believe they are working on a distribution agreement for it. Anyway, this led me to explore other options and I found one other epoxy compatible polyester gel coat from Scott Bader, Crystic GC 252PA. Unfortunately I cannot find this product for sale in small quantities(5kg etc) Whilst searching for other options I have noticed that some people are using a 2k polyurethane coating in their moulds.....hence my question here
