TAP Plastics

[Jason Cosler]

I'm looking at TAP Plastics' website (www.tapplastics.com) and they seem to have a nice range of molding and laminating products for a beginning composites experimenter (smallish quantities, too). Specifically, I'm looking to make some test panels with vinylester and a combination of chopped glass, milled glass and fabric (aramid, probably). Might try the same with epoxy and carbon later, but TAP doesn't have chopped carbon. Probably be making some RTV molds too. Anyone have experience with their products and/or better places to look?

Thanks!

Hi Jason,

They are good people to deal with out out here (California).

We here at Kaiser use them for every aspect of plastic fabrication. They are always professional and extreamly helpful.

Use them.......

Fiberglasssuply.com are great to work with and have a nice site. I've had UPS deliver stuff the next day using ground freight, but I live in Oregon and can drive to Bingen to get bigger and hazardous items. They might have some materials or information at their website you can use.
