Bolly Products are now making their top quality raw materials available to all modellers. Many of these products are a little ‘different’ to what is normally available. That's because many similar product ranges are sold on price alone, not the quality and usability which are our main criteria.

General Purpose Epoxy Resin

An easy to use, 2 : 1 mix, low viscosity resin, with very reliable (overnight) curing and very easy to sand. Perfect for sheeting foam core wings with balsa or ply, ‘glassing’ wings and general building where a good quality resin is needed (i.e. firewall installation).

Laminating Epoxy Resin

A very high quality resin system specifically blended to our own formula. Ideal for small castings and laminating. It is the same resin we use for our fuselage and propeller manufacture. A very tough, rigid resin system without being brittle, with good properties at elevated temperatures.

Disposable Epoxy Brushes

We use these by the 1,000’s. With a metal handle (can be kept in thinners), and a 12mm brush stroke.

6 MINUTE, Super epoxy

A very high quality version of the popular ‘5 minute’ epoxy resins.

Combining the normal easy to use 2: 1 mixing ratio, but with a genuinely useful working time, and excellent properties when cured ... (not the normal rubber-like stuff of normal ‘5 minute’ epoxies).

Note: At the time of printing, this product is in the development / testing stage (along with Cyno glues and Silicon Exhaust Deflectors). Expected market release, September 1996.

Cyno glues

We have been testing cyno’s for several years, and are now confident we have a very good product to sell. To be available in 28gm bottles, in Fast, Medium and Slow cures.

Note: At the time of printing, this product is in the development / testing stage (along with the 6 minute Super Epoxy and Silicon Exhaust Deflectors). Expected market release, late 1996.

Q-Cells

Similar to ‘micro balloons’ etc. Q-cells are very tiny hollow plastic spheres (miniature table tennis balls), which when combined with resin, makes for a perfect lightweight filler etc. The Q-Cells / GP resin combination is very easy to sand. Ideal for wing or tail fillets.

Glass Powder

We could never live without this product. It is glass fibres chopped into .8mm lengths. Combined with resin, it makes an easy to use paste which cures to be incredibly strong. Perfect for firewall installation.

Thixotropic Powder

Used extensively in house paints (it stops the paint sliding down the wall). It is a perfect companion to Q-cells and Glass powder, to ‘hold’ a fillet or similar in place whilst curing..

Carbon Fibre Rovings

Carbon fibre is incredibly strong for its weight, very rigid and easy to use. It can be used flat, or bundled to form a spar. Use extensively in high stress areas, ie wing spars. Using a few ‘tows’ top and bottom of a wing adds incredible strength for minimum weight.

Glass Fibre Rovings

Glass fibre is a much cheaper material than carbon. Use as per carbon fibres. Perfect for making your own glass fibre undercarriages, where carbon can sometimes be too rigid. This is a product normally difficult to buy in small quantities.

Aramid (Kevlar) Rovings

Aramid rovings are a very useful, but difficult to find product. ‘Kevlar’ is light, slightly flexible but incredibly tear resistant (and hard to cut). Perfect to use in areas where tear resistance is required, i.e. wheel pant mountings, cockpit openings & engine cowlings.

Glass Fibre Cloths

2 oz. Perfect for making small components and ‘glassing’ wing centre sections. Actually about 2.4oz.

.8oz Ideal for ‘glassing’ wings, fuselages etc. Using the Bolly general purpose resin of course.

Note: Sold as a 2yd long x 1 yd wide packs, a much more useful size than normal. (Cloth widths are subject to small variations)

Nylon Bolts

All our bolts are made with a strong (but not brittle) nylon. Simply drill and tap into a ply plate, and you have the perfect attachment method for wings & undercarriages. Available in handy 2" (52mm) lengths and the best thread form of all for tapping plywood ...1/4 x 20 thread (Whitworth).

Countersunk Perfect when a low drag attachment method is required , actually 1.75" long.

Round The standard bolt form used for most applications.

Hex drive Where using an Allen key is preferred to a screwdriver.

M4 x 25mm A small 4mm bolt perfect for cowling attachments etc.

Header Springs

Handy, not only for ducted fan & pylon pipe attachments, but for a whole host of modelling uses.

Silicon Exhaust Tube

Our ‘blue’ cloth reinforced silicon exhaust tube has become a favourite with many modellers. Available in 5 (inside) diameters and 2 lengths. The longer size is usually used as an aid to extending a pipe’s length, by using a spacer pushed into the middle of the tube.

10mm 50 & 75mm lengths, for after mufflers and exhaust extensions.

13mm 50 & 75mm lengths, for .30 to .45 size pipes etc.

16mm 60 & 80mm lengths, for .45 to .60 size pipes etc.

19mm 60 & 80mm lengths, for .90 to .140 size pipes etc.

22mm 75mm only, Note: not available at the time of publishing the book.

25mm 75mm only, for 30cc plus sized pipes.

Silicon exhaust deflectors

Whilst silicon exhaust deflectors have been around for some time, we will be the first company producing them in sizes suitable for larger exhaust systems.

To be available in 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm ID made from top quality silicon.

Note: At the time of printing, this product is in the development / testing stage (along with the 6 minute Super Epoxy and Cyno glues). Expected market release, late 1996.

We are also looking at introducing a range of silicon fuel tubing. Our test products are of exceptional quality, but finest quality silicon is expensive. The market research continues.
