Rudder foils,shaping

This series of pictures shows from the bottom up,each stage in the shaping,its not without skill,it takes a little care not to plane away the black lines!

Anyone can do this,given the right tools and our CNC profiled blanks.

We stock boat building epoxy

For at least fifteen years we have stocked and sold 816 epoxy, made originally as a brand name by Shell Chemicals.

In stock now and at R420 per 1.65 kg pack, that's 1 kg of 816 epoxy and .65kg of the 205 cure agent its really only U$27 the pack.

This grade of epoxy is free of solids and its quite thin, so good for assembly and epoxy saturation of things like glass tapes and cloth, which are also a stock item.

Mix ratio is by volume 4 parts epoxy to 3 parts cure agent, or 100 grams epoxy to 65 grams of 205 cure agent.

Prices are at time of this posting.

We can post country and world wide.

Dated 15/04/2016

Note: due to safety issues we can not ship epoxies internationally excepting with a Hazmat certificate.
