Well, you could try to import Epoxy from ebay to sweden.. it would flagged in customs, confiscated and destroyed in those volumes.. (shitty country) something about enviroment rules and ****.. have tried it before - it was not a funny experience.. Granite is effin expensive here in aggregate form. Its common yes, and the companies crushing it knows its worth. Overall, you can take any price from europe or any other country and add a 0 on it, welcome to sweden.. =) That "base" part is; 171500950.28 cubic milimeters.. i would get that to be around 171litres.. not 16-17 litres.. wrong? Edited: Pillar: 132656661.98 cubic milimeters (~132 litres) Saddle: 26020000.00 cubic millimeters (~26 litres). |

Normally aggregate used in concrete is sold by the ton not the kg. You dont want crushed granite, you want the rounded stuff they dredge out of rivers. I am still assuming a local source can be found. 16L is the epoxy needed. I can get some graded 4-5mm pebbles, graded 0.8-1.2mm sand and a couple other grades at my local hardware store for about 4€ for 20kg. I am assuming if I drive the 40km to St Pölten when they produce the stuff and sell it in 1 ton bags to industry, I can get for next to nothing. Why on earth would there be customs between Germany and Sweden? Haven't they heard that Sweden joined the EU a while back? How do you plan to get the epoxy? Mark |

well, customs.. epoxy falls under chemicals, Sweden has weird ass rules about chemicals. So they will try to make it as hard as possible for you to buy and handle. Then you have this, and its a common thing here. Companies doing buisness in industrial materials - dont want private customers. Its to much hassle, they just dont want to deal with end consumers. So its not that the materials is not available. They are not just available to me, as a private consumer. Because im mostly headache to them. =) I was planning to use this epoxy; http://www.nilsmalmgren.se/Datablad/DB%20Gjutharts%20094.pdf Its a casting resin where i can buy 53kgs of it for around 1500 euros. |

Sounds like you should take a ferry to germany, drive to Euroquarz dorsten and pick up Silimix, and then on the way home pick up 30L of Epoxy from some german vender like Marlies Breddermann Kunstharze Otto-Hahn-Str.22 48480 Schapen Germany , and save about €3000. Mark |

I actually have to agree with you. A road trip would save me alot of cash.. Will just have to program a GPS and do a roundtrip bribing my other half with stops in some makeup store ;D |
