Resinol 90c

[mavrick1903]

there's been some talk that this is the bees knees for stablization of blanks. the cost 3 gallons is $300 according to the threads I've read. that works out to around $25 a quart. I'm afraid I dont have the capitol to front a group buy, but this would be a great thing to do a group buy with. anyone want to head this up? I'd be in for a share if someone wants to put it together. just putting the idea out there.

I belive it was 4 gallons for $300.
I'd be interested in a quart.

Just to reiterate as I did in the other thread that those articles were posted 3(almost 4) years ago (October 2003).

Don't assume that the price is still the same.

I have a Loctite Rep that I can call and get some details. He calls on us once a week, and is usually good for lunch every two weeks.[][]

I think you will find that shipping is going to be the problem.
If it is a Hazmat item----shipping and containers are going to be a bear.
Last week I tryed to order 5 gallons of resin from the left coast and shipping was going to be over a $100.00.

I'd be in for about a hundred. I've been wanting to try some of it.

I would be in for some if the price is not too steep.

NOTE: I just spoke with the rep. This is not distributed through distributors "typically", because of the process and specialised equipment that uses it. It is normally sold direct by Loctite to the end-users. My rep is still working on pricing.

EDIT:
Here is a link to the MSDS for Resinol 90C. This stuff is hard to lay hands on.

Update:

4 Gallons of Resinol 90C, which is only obtainable directly from Loctite, was quoted as $1200 for four gallons on a one time purchase.[B)][B)]

Yikes, that is a little different than $25 a quart (3 times different)

k. guess that idea's out. thanks for doing the research.

We can get Nelsonite for $82.75 for a five gallon pail, and it is not classified as hazardous.

 

[mavrick1903]

Ok, so who's going to do the group buy for Nelsonite?

Just so's you know Nelsonite really smells.

[mrplace]

I have some new information, but I am going to post it in the casting forum since it is not a group buy.

I have used lots of nelsonite and it soaks in a long way,a great stabilizer,it smells real bad.
