SIZE: 30mls
Wax in Styrene 30mls size is to be used in 1L of Polyester Laminating Resin, to convert into Filler (Hot Coat) Resin.

Wax in Styrene is a mixture of Paraffin Wax dissolved in Styrene, that is used to form an air-tight layer on the resins surface to make Filler or Gloss Coats.
 
Filler Resin is a product made from mixing Wax in Styrene with Laminating Resin. It is used after Surfboard Lamination and is often referred to as the Hot Coat, Filler Coat or Sand (Sanding) Coat. As the name suggests, Filler Resin, fills in gaps left after laminating the fibreglass, creating a smooth finish. Filler Resin once cured creates an air-tight layer on the surface of the resin, that allows the resin to be sanded.
