Title: Epoxy resin and hardener
Post by: Sloggerz on August 03, 2021, 12:43:41 PM
Hi guys.
I am looking for some epoxy resin and hardner for bat repairs. Does any one know a good supplier here in the U.K for this product?

Never tried it on a bat but your best bet is probably a surfboard ding repair kit. They are generally specific to the surfboard construction type, Epoxy or PU (polyester).

I've got a few and you can get either ready to use or to mix and are reasonably cheap. A couple of epoxy kits here:

In my view this is a bad idea. In my experience epoxy is too hard and Riis and will either just pop out, or worse, actually cause more extensive damage.

Agreed, I wouldn't use it on a bat but hey he asked  :D

Super glue is my best friend when it comes to bats, or just use another one from the collection....
