So if someone wants a good one that doesn’t cost a million bux (West System 105) what would you recommend?

izz nice
the laminating epoxy that I use is reasonably cheap. Pretty sure my local supplier buys in bulk and rebrands it so unless you are in Australia, my source isn’t really gonna help. But in any case, I use the 500 series epoxy from www.trojanfibreglass.com.au
Not all epoxies are made equal, they are all formulated differently for different purposes. I think that using a product outside of its spec is asking for trouble…
Your best bet would be to shop around locally, or even ask boat builders / panel shops what they use

That sux.
@Boardnamics was also working on one, and I think @Trampa makes one as well.
@Janux-esk8 may have some if you ask

Certainly looks a lot like the Twintex composite (swear I read this somewhere here). Seems to come as a prepeg, so who knows what epoxy is actually used. Trampa themselves may not even know.

I’ve been assuming it was like a 21oz woven roving.
You may very well have the fabric nailed. That looks exactly like it.
That sux I have some of his pulley and want to get some of his kegal mount AT wheels.
