Hi All,
Before you all go off and buy Ampreg 22, please note that Ampreg 22 has not been
qualified by Europa as an alternative to Ampreg 20. The physical properties
fall short of the Ampreg 20 system. Anyone building in the UK would have to deal
with the P.F.A. if they wish to substitute the 20 for ANY other resin.
Cheers,
Nev.

If there is any intention to change resin systems might I suggest you take
a look at the newer SP Systems product Ampreg 22. The specs are all but the
same, or very similar to Ampreg 20, but it is a modern resin system
specifically designed to reduce some of the dangers of use, along with
providing a greater flexibility on how the product is used. The best thing
is that there are at least 2 hardeners, one fast and one Slow or Extra
Slow, and you can blend them as you please. Fast is really good for little
layups that are non structural, as you can get on with things straight away
the next morning. I haven't used it on any of my flying surfaces, only
within the fuse, but I can certainly "sing its praises". If there is any
doubt as to its suitability for Europas, a Europa is on its Technical Data
Sheet! Also, it can be used down to 18 degrees Celsius without any major
problem, therefore may well suit the basement work of those in the Northern
Hemisphere.
