wheels 543 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 A boat biulder next door to us uses the Glue Guru. Also cheack deals on Trademe. There is someone in Manakau selling a heap of stuff off cheap due to a failed overseas order. I just bought 20ltrs of resin from them for $280. They have a heap of Carbon cloth at cost.

Guest Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 the best and cheapest These days the above does usually mean you are talking about 2 differing things. Sure they may look very similar but there is often huge differences. Think 'Lifetime cost' rather than 'how lower a price can I buy it' and you will save money in the longer run.

raz88 96 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've had good dealings before with NZ fiberglass on Morrin Road. They stock West System and carry a range of peel ply's as well as carbon/kevlar/glass matting etc. Have always been sharp on price and happy to offer advice too. Link to post Share on other sites

Look out for TradeMe deals... Got some rubbish epoxy off TradeMe that wouldn't ever go off properly. Think it might have been v. old. Link to post Share on other sites
chic014 0 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 High Mod sell most stuff by the metre so they're worth a try. Or NZ Fibreglass where you can go have a look at what they've got and get some advice. Link to post Share on other sites
203 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey guys, Thanks for all of that, Jus6 finished glassing half of it all up, Now I wait 24hours to give it a sand so its nice and smooth In all I spend 280 for 4.8l of resin, 25m of double bias 150mm wide, 400g cloth, and all the other little bits that you need to do the job, Not to bad in my mind.. Probably too much for a few of you, But hey, I might actually be able to sail at the end of this month Link to post Share on other sites
