Has anyone on the list used Aeromarine brand epoxies?

They are available at

I seek feedback from users.


Off topic, since I haven't used that brand:

When it comes to low-cost general-purpose epoxies, I prefer the 635
system from US Composites (http://www.uscomposites.com) with 3:1
medium hardener.

In the 2.66-gallon kit, it costs about $30 per gallon (about the same
as polyester resin at the hardware store), has a nice 3-hour working
time for thick layups, and I've had good consistent cure from it.

However, I cannot attest to the strength or other properties of these
materials. I've been using it only for tooling parts, so I don't
consider it of great importance at this time. I'd want to do a coupon
tests before I used it for any sort of flight or structural article.

Thanks, and best regards to all
