Composite Envisions

[Kruegs35]

Does anyone have any experience with Composite Envisions? Their polyester resin is the cheapest I've seen. I don't have any experience with fiberglassing yet, so I don't know if there are differences between resin brands

Mod EDIT. Link removed, iboats carries resins. Please dont post links to competitor sites

IIIRC, there is only a small handful of manufacturers that make all the resin sold in the US. If you are doing a small repair, by the gallon may be cost effective. If you are doing a full rehab, by the 5Gal would be more cost effective unless you have to pay HazMat shipping a long way. If you can find a local place that does glass work, you might be able to buy a gallon or 5 as you need it from their 55gal barrel.

Just want to avoid big box and auto part store resins. It has probably been sitting around for a while and likely to have wax in it.

Seems like no one is familiar w that supplier, I've never heard of them.

What are you working on? Full rehab?

I'm doing a transom and about half of the deck. Composite Envisions is the cheapest I've found. 5 gallons at $20 per gallon and about $50 shipping. No hazmat fee since they are single gallon containers. A 5 gallon bucket from a local supplier is $172.
