R-3501 H-5000 Vacuum Infusion Epoxy 3:1 1.33 Gallon Kit

Description
Q&A

The R3501 Epoxy and H5000-01 Hardener Vacuum Infusion Epoxy Kit is a very high quality, low viscosity resin system which works perfect for the vacuum infusion process. You must use a special resin for vacuum infusion. If you try infusing the wrong type of resin you will not get the proper saturation in your laminate and you will have many air voids which cause weak spots. Also a thicker resin will not flow properly and will not flow entirely across your part. This resin was designed for use in our own production process of composite parts but due to customer request we added this product on our site for purchase. We work with a resin chemist that creates epoxies for use in OEM Ford production parts so you are getting epoxy of high caliber at a reasonable price. This epoxy is made here in the USA. Hardener is included with this resin.
