Need help locating low viscosity epoxy/distributor in Canada

I’ve been working with vacuum infusion for about a year now using a local company’s epoxy resin. 800cps (38min pot life). Small and medium sized automotive parts. Ok results, some pinholes and the odd dry spot on the medium sized items. Ok for personal, non cosmetic stuff. I chocked up the poor results to the rather high viscosity of the epoxy.

I would like to try a lower viscosity product (250-350 cps range).

Can anyone recommend an epoxy system and distributor in Canada?

Thanks

The only two comprehensive distributors of epoxy specifically for CF production I am aware of are Composites Canada in Mississauga and BMBSC in Quebec. Both will have many choices of epoxy from various manufacturers.

Thanks for the tip. Have you had previous experience working with these companies?

I’ll give those distributors a ring.

I have bought from CC many times. Front end service is very unimpressive, but they have what I need so I order anyway. The owner seems nice, but appears unaware of how poorly his staff on the floor handle things. BMBSC has been very good in fielding my inquiries, but they never had exactly what I wanted. Mind you, their selection is still very respectable.
