Paul,

Let me say how happy we are with your Premium blend marine epoxy resin. We were out putting on two large pieces of Kevlar material on our 32.5 ft Woods Eclipse Cat. Each piece then was about 32 feel long be about four ft. The Premium blend worked great even in 85 degrees temp. Two of us were able to put on the kevlar using about 3/4 gallon batches split in two, using two X-Tra large kitty litter containers to apply it with.....

Thanks again for the Premium blend -50 gallons last year ....LOVE IT!

Hi Paul and co.;

I just did a test with your Premium blend marine epoxy and a very highly recommended slow epoxy from a major competitor.

I work in a hot plastic tent with heavy biax fiberglass so exothermic reaction/pot life is very important! So I tested the Premium blend and your best competitor. The competitor 's epoxy and your Premium were pored about two inches deep in plastic containers about two inches deep. The other stuff heated up quite warm in about twenty-five minutes or so at 22C degrees ,not bad but yours lasted much longer ! I didn't need it as the plastic cup got only a little warm ,not as much as the other guys by far!

So send me 50 gallons more please! I'll get in touch for the details.
thanks

NOTES FROM JIM ON SHIPPING TO CANADA

We have twice had two packs of twenty-five gallon Premium Blend Marine Epoxy trucked across the border to the Canada Customs Bond Warehouse in Hamilton On.

We know roughly when the shipment is due and wait for the call to come pick up the goods. We then head over to the CC Bond warehouse and show our picture ID ,i.e. Drivers license. Then pay the GST/PST. No charges for the warehouse were asked for as we were there on the first day that they called.

The Customs agent acts as the Broker ,so they need to know what to classify the goods under ,in this case it's classified under glue. We then sign for the goods and pick up the 50 gallons of PREMIUM BLEND Epoxy in our case. It's best to be there at a quiet time as patience is required in this process, but it's worth it .

For proof of cost etc., Progressive Epoxy Polymers has the paper work on the boxes or the five gallon pails, so no problem there.

One way to avoid is having a Courier company just use their Broker. I've heard horror stories of Broker costs of $300. for small packages.

So avoid that way by having it sent to CC Bond warehouse or picking it up at an address on the USA side.

RETURNS: call or email for authorization to return. Returns are subject to a 25% restock fee. Customer pays return shipping and must comply with federal DOT shipping requirement/labeling for hazmat epoxies under penalty of fines and legal action.
