Have you spoken to martin cobb? he is very well known in the area and is always in and out of your yard
glass fibre scratches and repairs is all he does and he`s pretty good
I have no connection incidentally

Ah, ok so it's not Euroresins then, but REINCHHOLD S.R.L

REINCHHOLD s.r.l. Blue Gelcoat, Item Code: NGA70005S

They are a branch of REINCHHOLD, based in Italy, so this makes sense. The company history is interesting, helping out Henry ford in the paint dept, got these folks to thank for being able to order another colour other than black it would seem.

They do have a contact over here but they haven't able to help as is the wrong dept for S.R.L. I have sent an e-mail to a technical guy in the states to see if he can cross reference it to a more readable number or code for you.
Not sure what NGA is yet, '70005' would be the colour.
The 'S' on the end i'm pretty sure just means spray as apposed to brush for application.

The more I find out about this gel the better it gets, you have some seriously good gel coat there, even if it is a little hard to cross reference! I would be happy to pop down to Poole next year when it's a bit warmer if you have no joy yourself, have to update the thread though of course.

I have looked at the REINCHHOLD s.r.l. website and it appears they sell in 55 gal drums so that's a no go. Will wait and see what our local Karnic importer comes up with. Hopefully he will get enough to let me have a drop. If the US guy can help would be interested in getting a more searchable colour code

If I am unsuccessful with the repair I will pm you.

Thanks for your efforts

Martin

I've just used Martin Cobb for a fibreglass repair. He did a nice quick job for £60 hassle free, but I did note the gelcoat he applied smeared over to the hull a little and that wasn't sanded back (so I'll have to do it).

On the other hand, the repair was great and for sixty quid, I'm not complaining.

Martin,
An update for you,
I have a Ral code number which has been cross referenced for me by Reichhold global technical support.

It did take some digging, this is one big company!
(If your reading this, a big thank you to Kjell Sandve, Jeff Danneman and Mark Callicutt from Reichhold for your assistance.

The magic code is RAL 5003 GL as can be seen below from their records.

East coast fibreglass supplies have this as Ral 5003 Sapphire blue and would be available as a pigment or as a ready to go flowcoat.

Tony you are a star

There is no way no matter how many doors I knocked on that I would of been able to get that code.

Definitely above and beyond the call of duty.

This forum is just brilliant, or at least it's members are, so much knowledge generously shared with unknown others, brilliant (is there an echo in here )

+1 in praise......Marinereflections you're efforts to obtain that info have won you an admirer and a bit of business next year in cleaning, polishing, and whatever else is needed on my boat.

@ Tony Marine Reflections,
would you mind coming over to Belgium for some work on another Karnic similar to Martin's ?
if yes, pls PM I'm serious, she's nice warm inside in my warehouse
but I know I'm last in the queue

 

[Marine Reflections]

Martin, very kind words, you are more than welcome, just helping out where I can.
I agree, this forum and its members are brilliant!
Another forum member, despite him being in bed fighting off the lurgy! has offered to turn me a copy of a wooden knob on a lathe for a mirror as part of completing my SWMBO's birthday gift.
I couldn't thank him enough, I had no chance of getting this, his reply was - he was just chipping into the pot!

Vanilla, very pleased to hear that, I will look forward to hearing from you
