Specialist sealer can be used to seal modelboard and tooling board and also restore gloss to composites moulds;
it can be applied by hand or sprayed. Use S120 to transform machined-finish tooling board into a hard-wearing high-gloss finish pattern or mould in just a few applications.
Disposable replacement spray nozzle for our S120 board sealer 50ml and 250ml bottles. After use, the S120 board sealer will set inside the nozzle meaning that the nozzle needs to be replaced for each use; keep a stock of these replacement nozzles handy for future use.

Lightweight 100gsm chopped strand mat (CSM) using an emulsion binder for use with polyester and vinylester resins.
This very light glass fibre reinforcement is easy to break-down and laminate into tighter corners and details without voids and so is most often used for thin tie-coat or coupling coat layers before laminating with heavier reiforcement.
300gsm chopped strand mat glass reinforcement using a powder binder. Because the powder binder breaks down physically, rather than by a solvent in the resin, powder-bound CSM can be used with solvent-free resins, such as epoxy.
950mm wide. Sold by the linear metre or in full box quantities.
