Hi.
Does anyone have any tips to less expensive or more practical potting compounds than Scotchcast?
The mixing bag is nice for larger jobs, but the pot life is short and if you just want to fix one penetrator etc, you would have to open the two bags and manually measure the resin etc.
Is there any alternative polyurethane resins that comes in practical sizes (like 1kg) that has the same sticky bonding ability?
@canman172 i have been using the 2131 210g resin bags and done a larger batch of penetrators. I havent found Norwegian suppliers with other sizes than this, and the
@etienne It seems like the 82-A1 is a splice kit. Whats the name of just the resin?
I believe PUR compounds are especially nice, since they have some flexibility and bonds to a wide variety of materials.
These could be nice alternatives, but there are shipping restrictions to norway
i have been using with good results United Resin Corp : E-Cast F-28 Clear / Hardener F-14. I have used it for potting my umbilical splices. It comes in 1 pound 10 ounce containers, and you mix what you need 5 parts to 4 parts.
Thanks for the feedback Darreen. I was actually looking for alternatives to the 2131 again as our supplier has stopped selling these and they seem harder and harder to find, and a google search sent me back to this thread. I dont find much info on the United Resin Corp. Do they only do direct sales? Has anyone found any other more commonly available options? Ive found Electrolube UR5041, which is PUR based, like the scotchcast 2131.
