Hey Tim (or whoever else knows), I'm getting low on my west systems and was thinking of trying aeropoxy this next time around. I was wondering if aeropoxy has pumps like the West for getting proper r...

Wow. Nice shots Ray. And some very impressive representation by NCR too!

Hey Tim, I was wondering if you could enlighten us all as to the status of the Dyna-wind tubing. I'm interested in trying it out in camparison to the glass reinforced tubes I've been making myself. ...

That's good. I wonder why they don't have anything listed on their layup materials page anymore? I did send them an email, hopefully they will respond.
