As promised here`s where i get all my supplies from.

www.cfsnet.co.uk This is a realy good supplier of resins,gel coats, mat and all consumables. Buy online for excellent service.

www.carrreinforcements.com Supplier/weaver of carbon, kevlar etc.These guys are also fantastic. I`m not sure on the minimum order quantity but give them a bell they are very helpful.Tremendous range of carbon and kevlar styles, colours etc
They also have samples so you can see and feel various types weights etc before you buy.

www.tygavac.co.uk I get all my infusion materials from here, you have to buy larger quantities, but my feeling is that if you ring them they may be able to help you with smaller quantities. These guys are part of Airtech so if you go to www.airtechonline.com you can order there and the order will get passed across the pond to tygavac. Once again these guys are very helpfull and the delivery is first class.

www.prfcomposites.com Well a recent find for me a good supplier of epoxy infusion resins. the minimum quantity is 5kg @ £8.97 per kg (or roughly 1 uk gallon) They have various hardeners which can be mixed to alter the working time priced separately. The resin/hardener mix has a blue tint to it but dont let this concern you as your parts wont show this. No online sales and they dont accept credit cards, so proforma and cheque or like i do go down and pick it up (200mile round trip)

www.maplin.co.uk Cheap spiral wrap from these guys, buy online and good delivery.

www.altecweb.com This is where i get all my PVC tubing from, all wall thicknesses. I think whole reels only but not sure anyway it`s so darn cheap and buy online.

www.vikingtapes.co.uk For 3M 77 spray adhesive, buy online

www.polyfibre.co.uk I get my Duratec from here but they have so much more. Bagging supplies, resins consumables etc. Good people to deal with and buy online.

Oh yes one more good old ebay where would i be without them. My compressor, a fantastic vacuum pump, cheap HVLP spray guns, My digital SATA spray gun (boy that was agood deal)and so much more.

Well guys thats my list i hope it helps some of you, feel free to add your own.

Happy hunting, Baz

One to add

http://www.resin-supplies.co.uk/Pricelist.htm - I’ve bought a few bits and bobs from these guys, really helpfull on the phone. Really only any good for the basics and a bit more pricey than others but another option none the less.

*** - Update - ***

Found another one http://www.tomps.com/ loads and loads of mould making materials here, seems cheap enough and you can buy online too. A friend uses this place and said the service and delivery times are very good.

http://www.glasplies.co.uk/ - supplier of all sorts GRP, resins, solvents, tools etc etc. Looks like you can send the order online but not pay online. I’ve only ordered a catalogue from these guys which arrived very quickly and was full of usefull product info. I haven’t used them for purchasing any products so haven’t a clue what the service and quality is like but the prices look reasonable.

Excellent service, they sent me out a batch of 2x2 twill 200g carbon fibre that was very pliable, the second batch came through stiff and un-usable… within a couple of days they sent through a new batch of carbon and undertook a full investigation keeping me informed all the way.
