I've used similar Prepreg composites for a couple years now but I've never seen this particular product. I've never seen a UV activated epoxy that holds up over time. They tend to set up soft & inconsistently.

Most high grade prepregs must be stored in a freezer & require post curing to withstand high temps.

Joe, where do you get your pre-preg supplies? I've been thinking of trying some prepreg projects, but haven't found a good source online.

I used to get it free from a friend of mine who works in the aerospace industry but I've been purchasing from Composite Sales lately.
