Default resins

While I must be very careful in my wording not to badmouth any companies resins. I will tell you this. There are (2) two major manufacturers in the U.S., that sell to almost every supplier on the market. Not saying they (the resins) are all the same, but the base is the same. Some have more curing agents, less thinners, more adhesive additives etc. But almost all the resins offered in the U.S. come from one of these two manufacturers. I would strongly suggest that you request and try samples from all companies that you can. Base your decision on your results. The tech spec sheet, unless you are an analytical engineer is useless to you. The so called lab tests, unless having beendone by a certified ASTM lab means very little. Any independant company and or person can hire a lab to test, but for comparisons sake, what have you found out? And although that independant lab gave that particular companies resin a two thumbs up, does it prove that there aren't better,faster, clearer resins available? Just my thoughts.
