Lightweight Sanding Filler

Mix it with Bote-Cote to make a paste which can be used for fairing. Easy to sand if done quickly and gives a perfect feather edge.

Fillet and Glue Powder

A blended filler designed to thicken epoxy for most gluing situations and to make stitch and glue fillets. Superior to other fillers, very economical and contains a dust reductant for your safety.

High Strength Filler Powder

This powder, when mixed with Bote-Cote gives maximum strength for critical situations such as catamaran cross beams and rudder posts. It has micro glass fibres in it making it very strong, but if you want to sand it or cut it, it is murder on the edges of your tools.

Purbond

A single pack, fully water proof, moisture curing polyurethane glue or adhesive. This is Australia's answer to that great american adhesive, Gorrilla Glue. Purbond glues almost any thing to almost anything.

Epox-E-Glue

Tapes

Fibreglass tape is available in woven or double bias.

Woven Cloth

All of our cloth is suitable for use with epoxy resin. They do not employ any adhesive binders which interfere with th epoxy adhering to them. Most are finished with a Silane coupling agent which enhances the adhesion between the resin and the glass.

Most of our woven fibre products are 1 metre wide, and this is convenient to go by post to anywhere in the . For smaller pieces (say up to 3 or 4 metres in length) we can fold them up or up to about 6 metres we can fold it in 2 lengthwise to give a roll about 70 cm in width which can go through the post. The snag to folding is that you will get a crease in the cloth.

Please consider this problem when ordering. If you need a single, continuous piece please advise us b email as otherwise, if we reach the end of a roll your order could be made up of two pieces.
