    I have heard of them before but never used their products, I have also in the past used MAS resins and System three . both good top quality resins at better prices than West Systems.. If the Resinst doesn't work out for laminating I have some countertops that need coating lol.

    Moments before implosion.

    2023 superjet light hull
