Tooling epoxy?

[20_rc51_00]

Anyone know of a room temp curing tooling epoxy that has good hardness?

I don’t have any post cure stuff so it’s not essential that there be a very high heat tolerance…

Thanks.

huntsman 8105 can be cured at room temp over a couple weeks, or you can cure it over night at 120 F and it will be good. the TG is 300 F. its a very nice tooling epoxy.

Thanks hojo, couple weeks is a bit longish:eek: though.

I found a few by PTM&W, do you kow anything about them?

yea, I have used there tooling stuff before, its pretty good. the huntsman 8105 is 24 hour demold time, and you would want to use the huntsman 8026 surface with it, you could make parts off it after a day if you want to, its just not going to have its full properties for a week or two, but will be self supporting after 24 hours. I think you would be happy with the huntsman

How much is one gallon of that Huntsman with slow or medium hardener? Where at?

Im not sure if you can buy it in 1 gallons. I have only got it in 5 gallon pails. you can get it from northern fiberglass. it will cost probally around $600 for 5 gallons of resin and 2 gallons of hardener
