Kurt challenged André to a material cutting competition… but he had a secret weapon up his sleeve. 😄

While André took on the challenge with normal scissors, Kurt brought out the WBT-2 Electric Scissors — and let’s just say, it made things a little unfair. Fast, clean, and seriously handy in the workshop, the WBT-2 is a game-changer when cutting materials like vacuum bag/film, carbon fabrics, flow media, e-glass, and more.

In this video, we unbox and take a closer look at the WBT-2 Electric Scissors — a practical cordless cutting solution designed to make cutting composite materials faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

For anyone working with fibre reinforcements in the composites and manufacturing industries, including general fabrication workshops, having the right cutting tool can make a big difference. The WBT-2 Electric Scissors offer a convenient alternative to traditional scissors, making it easier to cut materials such as vacuum bagging film, carbon fibre fabrics, aramid fabrics, flow media, E-glass reinforcements, and other workshop materials.

In this overview, we look at the tool, its basic features, and how it can help improve cutting speed, accuracy, and ease of use in a fast-paced workshop environment.

Whether for professional production or hands-on fabrication work, this versatile tool is designed to meet the needs of users across multiple industries.

❄️ Why Resin Behaves Differently in Winter

Cold temperatures can have a big impact on how resin flows, cures, and performs. Understanding how seasonal conditions affect your materials can help you achieve stronger, more consistent results on every project.

✔️ Store resin in a warmer area before use
✔️ Work in a controlled environment where possible
✔️ Measure and mix accurately
✔️ Allow sufficient curing time
✔️ Follow product guidelines for best results

Whether you’re working on repairs, manufacturing, moulding, laminating, or custom composite projects, the right preparation makes all the difference.

Phase One of a Successful Infusion: Crystic® 69PA

High-performance composite parts require more than just a good infusion; they require a resilient surface. Crystic 69PA is specifically formulated to be the foundation of your layup.

Applied via brush prior to the dry-stack and vacuum process, this pre-accelerated gelcoat ensures:

🔹A Shield for your Laminate: High resistance to osmosis and weathering.
🔹Reduced Post-Work: A high-gloss finish straight from the mould.
🔹Reliability: Lloyd’s Register approved for marine and high-stress environments.

Before you reach for the infusion resin, ensure your surface is protected with the industry standard in brush gelcoats.

Superior Performance with Crystic® 783 LVLR Infusion Resin.

The most notable struggle fabricators experience? Slow resin flow, incomplete wet-out, higher emissions or compromised mechanical performance in infusion products.

Crystic 783 LVLR addresses these challenges by combining low viscosity for fast infusion with the durability of an isophthalic resin — giving you lighter, stronger, and more reliable parts.

Designed for vacuum infusion, it delivers:
🔹Low viscosity for excellent wet-out and flow
🔹High mechanical properties for structural applications
🔹Versatile applications – ideal for tanks, panels, marine hulls, and agricultural structures
🔹Low styrene content — reduces emissions during processing (helpful for workshop conditions and operator comfort)
