1. Whic is the best solvent for removing grease from GRP?
Instead of using volatile solvents such as cellulose thinners, which are hazardous to both you and the environment, try a strong detergent solution such as our General Hull & Work Cleaner. It tends to 'kill' grease instead of thinning and spreading it as a thin film over the surface where it can act as a release agent.

2. I've some epoxy resin which is three years old. Is it safe to use?
Epoxies generally have a published storage life of 2 years but if you have a considerable amount it is worth mixing a sample in the correct proportions and leaving to cure for a day. If the system does cure to an infusible solid, then by all means go ahead.

3. What's the best way to clean lay-up brushes of resin mix.
Use disposable brushes. The cost of solvent is usually more than the value of the brush. The corollary is you are being environmentally sensible!

3 kilos of resin is equivalent to 1.25 litres. Take the price of Liquid Copper which is sold as a 3 kg pack for £70.50 incl VAT, this is equivalent to £56.40 per litre incl VAT or £48 per litre minus the VAT. This demonstrates how competitive our prices are.
