Group: Forum Members Posts: 42, Visits: 241	Hi all! Did a search but couldn't find any previous posts about it. I'm looking for a high-temp resin that needs to be baked in an oven for cure, but I can't find any. Anyone got a tip? I want to be able to make a sort-of prepreg that will last för a while i a freezer, and even at room temp. Also, where can I find completed vacuum-bags? I know I can make the with gumtape, but I would like purpose made bags with zip-locks or similar. I've seen them being used on Youtube. Thanks in advance.

If you want to make it yourself then pick a high viscosity resin with a long pot life and a high tg, Huntsman do a prepreg resin range. But consider the following: If you're trying to save money then in reality just buy the stuff - by the time you've got the resin, fabric and backing layers plus factor in your time to make it - just buy it, If you're doing it to prove to yourself you can and want to experiment then carry on and please post the results up
