Silverhook BIGK1 Big Boy Glass Fibre Resin Repair Kit

Product Information

Mix thoroughly using a clean instrument. Prepare up to 2 – 3 kg of topcoat depending on experience and requirements. New en-suite bathroom fitted Feb/March 2022. All new construction into extension so all new pipes and fittings etc. Prepare at most 2kg of resin at a time, enough for 1 – 2 square meters of glass fibre matting coverage, depending on the type used. Approximately 0.5 kg of topcoat should be applied to the laminated fibreglass (GRP) surface for each square metre.

Home Forums > Screwfix Community Forum > Other Trades you add depends on the temp,all i can say use it very sparingly because you can waste a lot if you overdo it.cut the fibreglass mesh ready,lay it on the board and roll the loaded roller over the fibreglaas sheeting until its inpregnated with resin and carry on. GRP/Fibreglass Roofing.The creation of a fibreglass lining or coating should be performed in a clean, dry area away from other persons and instruments.

Rendering onto plywood: When this was done on our loft conversion, the plasterer first stapled a sheet of Tyvek (synthetic roofing felt) over the ply. Then he stapled - securely - SS mesh over the surface, and rendered on to this (make sure you fit the mesh the right way up - one way will catch the render, the other way will allow it to slop off!). Examples of insufficient resin, the recommended amount and too much resin during application are presented below. Not enough resin Too little catalyst causes under curing to the applied laminate and may leave it exposed to inclement elements before cure. An undercured laminate is compromised in its structural properties. I really need to know what my options are? Can I go after them citing the Sales Of Goods Act? Or is there something else out there to help? At the end of the day, we have a faulty bath we can't use. Note : topcoat with catalyst at 2% at 20oC temperatures has a workable pot life of 20 minutes. Curing will be shorter at higher temperatures and higher catalyst concentrations.

Q & A

Also known as chopped strand mat (CSM), it exists in a range of sizes, from 300 to 900 g/m2. The units are the weight per surface area, with the industry standard being written as ‘grams per square meter’. Never use under 1% catalyst – even when hot – as the resin will not cure. Just use smaller quantities or wait until temperatures become more workable. Saturate the roller or brush in resin and apply to the underlying substrate. Once the surface has been saturated, apply the glass fibre matting. Repeat the same procedure to apply more resin to the matting. If you are creating a second layer (in the case of 2 x 450 gram CSM), repeat the same procedure by adding the second layer of glass fibre and a subsequent layer of resin.

Mix the catalyst and resin thoroughly prior to application. Use a clean, dry mixing instrument. A slight colour change from pink to brown should occur.Topcoat resin also requires catalyst (hardener) addition for curing. Using a safety dispenser, add MEKP catalyst in set amounts – typically 20 mL of MEKP catalyst per kilogram of resin. Never use more than 4% catalyst – even when cold . At this point, any extra catalyst will not improve curing times. With minimal shrinkage and easy sanding properties, the Glass Fibre Resin Repair Kit provides a professional finish that's ready to paint over. Plus, it's easy to use and apply, so you don't need to be a DIY expert to achieve great results. This kit is perfect for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking for an all-in-one solution for their repair needs.

Solvent cement for joining PVC and ABS (flexible) tubes, coupling sleeves and fittings in Koi Ponds and Swimming Pool Pipework up to diameter 160 mm. Dust and grease: any impurities present on the surface – or in the surrounding atmosphere should be reduced as much as possible. Resin bonding and curing is greatly affected by impurities.

Steve wants to also create a laminated surface. The weather is cold (7oC) and it’s winter. He decides to create 2 kg of catalysed resin with 3% catalyst. This means he will need 30Ml of catalyst to be added to the 2 kg of polyester resin. Note: glass fibre matting should be prepared in advance of any resin application. As detailed later on in these instructions, catalysed resin has a short shelf life (15-30 minutes), so applicators will have a limited amount of time before the resin hardens. Please read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet before starting. Personal protection equipment in the form of safety goggles, gloves, overalls and where appropriate a dust mask should be worn at all times. Fibreglassing should be performed in a well-ventilated area. It is strongly advised that a risk assessment and COSHH form is completed in accordance with HSE regulations.
