just call them up, they are good to talk and deal with, they make the stuff so they know what they are talking about, have bought epoxy, glass, carbon etc off them heaps of times, have been selling to board builders for years, they actually use to share a massive building with Kracka surf craft who build all styro epoxy boards.

I haven't used that actual resin but i have some normal epoxy from those guys in my garage i have used for repairs and it's work as good as west systems etc,
