“If you’re going to buy boating stuff this is the place to get it. I’m building a Mill creek kayak from a kit I picked up second hand. Pete gave me a lot of excellent practical advice which, when followed, worked out very well.
Can’t wait to get this boat on the water. A bit to do yet though. Thanks Pete, us learners need all the guidance we can get.”
“Peter Johnson is a star. Genuinely one of the most helpful people I've ever dealt with. I know that my after sales will be brilliant. I didn't feel like a customer, I felt like one of his friends!”
“I have used MAS epoxy extensively and always been given good advice on its use over a period of at least 5 years with no problems. The project is a Chateau restoration near Toulouse in South West France. Both stone and timber repairs of some complexity have been completed without a single bonding failure. I have also made repairs to a Laurent Giles yacht again with complete success. Thanks for your help to date Stephen West”
“Black Bear have supplied us recently with MAS epoxy resins for laminating up a 40' mast and also the wonderful Biosolv thinner/solvent substitute. The MAS has been our first big lamination with epoxy resin, and thanks to BBB&L we have had an easy ride with great service as well as long-suffering help on the phone or late-in-the-day orders. MAS is great stuff to use, being simpler to mix than most and hardly made an impression on my itch-prone skin which is a big relief. The Biosolv is amazing stuff. As far as I can make out it can be used as a thinner/solvent for anything, but with no headaches, nausea or skin itches which are my usual lot. Having said that we always wear gloves and I use a carbon filter respirator, but even the smallest inhallation or splash on skin would normally have me itching. Not with MAS Epoxy or Biosolv.! Thanks, BBB&L! Pol at Black Dog Timber”
“Fantastic products and great service. My order was delivered on time. Pete and his team are always available to help with any questions i have had and there advice is spot on, can't recommend them enough.”
