    Hi Andrew,
    interesting, is it for your DIY applications or bussiness needs?

    I'm thinking to make some bits for my Landy like skid plate, re-trim doors, wheel arches, etc. Do you know is it possible to work with twintex in home conditions?

    Cheers,
    Ruslan

    Its a little of both really. im new to this gear but as far as i know its not really suited to DIY. Large mould presses and heat are used to mould, so Im guesing a pile of books and a heat gun may not do it .

    I dont really dont want to go into it to much , but ive been offerd a very interesting side line that with a little money and time could turn out to be a full time gig........ , but its a very competive game so Im just looking into it just for now......

    Without googleing it, is it like a fibre matting material that forms with heat or something like that. Is the company Australian Composites (or something like that again, sorry being a bit vague here)
    If so my step dad is doing a lot of work with this mob, he is setting them up in a few businesses, they now want him top consult for them.
    Am i close, if i am, PM me and i can give you his number if you want some info, knows alot of s@#t about fibreglass and composite materials.
