Additional Sleeve Source

It was suggested to me to look at [www.braider.com] for C/F sleeves. The web site displays some different weave pattern color combos. Other than looking at the site I don't know anything about them. Maybe they only deal in industrial/large order quantities.

On the other hand, I just received my first order from Soller and they were pleasant, informative and prompt to deal with. Maybe even Soller can do the decorative braids that braider.com offers.

Thanks to Mike Harris for providing links to alternative epoxy resins. I decided to go with Resin Research. As was mentioned in a previous thread, RR is THE go to resin for surf boards. The problem is surf shops only stock larger quantities. I found [www.fiberglasssupply.com] north of Seattle that handles small containers.

Hope this helps.

Mike

I can't say enough about Soller. John has done everything I asked, provided insights, calls back immediately..... and will seek out the cheapest shipping and pass the savings right back to you with a refund.
