I’ve been searching for vacuum infusion supplies and I’m having trouble finding a good source. airtech has some great products, and good prices it seems, but I’m not entirely sure I want to buy an entire roll of flow media or a case of sealant tape. Anyone have any suggestions for where to go for these supplies? Thanks

Try www.revchem.com and tell them JM from GGROP sent you…

Also, it would helpful to all if everyone listed their location in their Bio so we don’t waste time with someone out of the area.

Resinflow 60 flow media is last on the list - $4.53 to $5.90 a yd depending on quantity.

The cheapest price i’ve found on sealant tape is Wicks Aircraft Supply…

It’s the standard 1/8" x1/2" x 25’ roll - $3.08.

I been getting my stuff from composites one lately, they are all over the country. Since it is tax season you might get some write-off materials. I got 3 rolls of 42 inch 250 yards a roll of continues strand mat and 2 rolls of 50" 33oz. bihexal fiberglass and 30 gallons on marine clear UV gel for $300 for all of it. They wrote it off and most composite ones have stuff like this. All new and usable, the gel coats manufacture date was even only last month

Let me know if you find a cheaper source…

Here’s US Plastics Tee’s -

Their HDPE (high density polyethylene) tubing seems to resist collapsing under full vacuum. It’s pretty cheap for 100’, but it is rather stiff.

I use their spiral wrap also…
