I have used their Epoxy resin for a quad project and nose repairs it seems fine.

Just a note if your making a sailboard check the depth of the Shapers finboxes as they aren't as deep as Chinook US boxes or anywhere near as sturdy for the forces of windsurf fins. The fins sit 2-3 mm higher than my other boxes and need heaps of "Adjustment".

A mistake I made - fine for a standard surf board though.

Cheers
