Hi Garry, welcome to the slightly strange world of Europa building.
Don't listen to all those people telling you not to bother with resin
pumps - IMHO it is an essential item. I've only had to unblock it once in
nine months of use, so maintenance is not a problem and it is so much easier
when you are doing a lay-up and you need a bit more epoxy - just one quick
pump and it's done. I got mine from Aircraft Spruce - not cheap, but good
value, I reckon. I have built a cupboard lined with 50mm polystyrene in
which to keep the pump, heated with a winemaker's heating tray (you can get
those from Boots) connected to a thermostat. You can get some more details
