    I haven't been able to find any epoxy type stuff that is liquidy when you pour it, but dries solid.

    So far the best chce in Dgte seems to be tubes of Liquid Nails..

    Anything better around?

    So far everything I find is very thick in the can. I'd want something that pours and conforms easily, then gets rock hard.

    Ahhh, what you are looking for is epoxy resin. As far as I know it is not available in Duma. Years ago Rejoice had it in 55 gallon drums, but stopped stocking it becuase it didn't seel fast enough.

    You can buy it at Olympus Marketing in Cebu (Mandaue), and Cebu Hardware downtown.

    Thanks Larry, my wife is going to Cebu soon. I could have her check.

    If I see Nigel next week I'll ask him if he uses any down at Tambobo Bay.

    I thought I mentioned that in your other epoxy post that you can buy clear epoxy (Pioneer) in one liter cans from Zenith Marketing on Realstreet, that's the same stuff Nigel is using.:rolleyes:

    Nigel used to buy from Olympus in Mandaue, I brought some back to him on one occasion. Victor of the Simple Mind states that Pioneer resin is available here. I have used other Pioneer products extensively, but did not know this was available here. I have been more than pleased with all Pioneer products, so...

    I bought some Pioneer at Matiao and it was like putty rather than a pourable liquid. What I bought wasn't the marine Pioneer, but they said it's the same consistency as what I'd bought. (I got a refund)

    I could have them crack open a can of the marine to see what it looks like..

    The marine is the same consistency as the construction grade, what you are looking for is epoxy RESIN. Check at Zenith as Simple Mind pointed out, or Olympus in Cebu.
