Boat Suppliers Composite Consumables Kit

The consumables that disappear fastest on a layup, packed together so you are not hunting for a clean cup mid-batch. Gloves, graduated cups in three sizes, and stir sticks. Nothing exotic, just the things that stop a job when you run out of them.

• Nitrile gloves, 6 pairs. Powder-free and chemical resistant for handling resin, hardener and solvents.
• Graduated mixing cups, 6 total. Three 8 oz, two 16 oz and one 32 oz, so you can measure a small repair batch or a full ply without eyeballing it.
• Wooden mixing sticks, 10 pack. Smooth birch, wide enough to scrape the sidewall and corner of a cup where unmixed hardener hides.
• Sized for a project, not a shop. Roughly one repair job worth of consumables.

Scrape the cup sides and bottom when you mix. Most epoxy cure failures trace back to unmixed resin stuck in the corner of the cup, not to a bad ratio.
