Martin,

Glad to hear that was useful. Martin is a top guy.

Just a quick tip to be careful putting water through a resin pump. The mild
steel springs will rust in no time, and getting water out of the chambers
will be near impossible (you'll end up disassembling it to get all the water
out).

Don't ask how I know - all I'll say it is wasn't me...

Kind regards,
Jeremy

Jeremy, Jeff, Ivor,

Thank you for your advice on the Ampreg 20 Hardener, I did ring Martin
Armstrong and he had all the answers I needed in the dis-coloring of the
hardener. It was really bad oxidization which had been caused from some old
hardener left in the valve of the resin pump, The solution was to wash out
with soapy water, then to allow to air dry, then to flush out with new resin
and hardener.
Martin also advised in making a floating lid to reduce the surface area in
contact with the atmosphere, also suggested by Ivor (Thanks)

Thanks All,
Richard Wheelwright.
