What type of epoxy??

[noserider]

Guys


I just had my motor mount boxes rebuilt. I want to oversize drill them and fill with epoxy and drill again. What type of epoxy do I use and where is it sold? The term "epoxy resin" is used on this forum often but I'm not sure what that product is exactly if that's what i need and where to buy it? Suggestions??

Thanks

These guys are a little pricey but they know the process. Even if you don't
buy west system their info is right on.

The "favorite" kind of inexpensive, decent quality epoxy here is US Composites (www.uscomposites.com). They have epoxy in 1-10 gallon kits in slow, medium and fast speeds for about half of what a gallon of west system costs, including shipping.

I just received my 15th or so kit from them... quality product every time.

RE West System:Like I said, it's pricey. The web site,however, is full of good application info for any brand.
There expensive because they've broken their product line out to full retail.
Their products are available off the shelf and in small quantities. USC has great
stuff at good prices but if I need a small lot this afternoon it will probably be
West System.
