I use the AOC resins, I got a drum of VE infusion resin just to get the lower viscosity. They actually make resins for many other companys just relabeled with a different name on it.

This is what I bought, a 55 gallon drum of infusion resin:

It works great for just about anything. All I use is thin Viscosity resins. I really like the AOC Hydropel high performance Vinyl ester. They make tons of different types and can custom batch if you buy enough. Even when I use epoxy, I use the US composites "635 Thin resin". It is just so much easier wetting out cloth with thin resin. I can cut my lay up time down quite a bit with the thinner resins which makes it easier to lay up larger areas with extra time before it starts to kick off. It is just better to work with for me anyhow. I can even hand lay with it and like it better than most standard thicker viscosity resins designed for that. Only exception is when hand laying vertical and overhead applications. Even then long as you pre heat the area and warm the resin it will kick before it starts to run off of the cloth.

It was a good product, I wish I had more Dave, I would send you some just to try so you could see how you like it. I only have 2 gallons left out of the 55, so I cant right now but if I get another drum I will send you some to try.
