Tools & product range.
The tools, equipment and materials the trade uses. Prices are indicative market prices with source — always check the current price with the retailer.
Machines
Hot-air gun / plastic welder (handheld)Used for hand welding of thermoplastics (PE, PP, PVC) — e.g. tanks, containers, pipes, geomembranes and repairs — where the welding rod is melted into a joint between two parts.
Welding nozzles / speed nozzles for plastic welderChosen according to the welding method and workpiece, so the plastics fabricator can lay an even joint with welding rod when hand welding thermoplastics.
Random orbital sander~ ~627 kr (Bosch PEX 300 AE)Indicative · harald-nyborg.dk · 2026-07
Materials
Welding rod for plastics (PP/PE/PVC)~ ~37 kr (pr. pakke, ekskl. moms)Indicative · baier.dk · 2026-06
Glass fibre matReinforcement in thermoset work (polyester/epoxy), e.g. laminating and building tanks, cab parts, boats and moulds.
Polyester resin (unsaturated)Base material in thermoset plastics/lamination — saturates the glass fibre mat and forms the finished laminate when building moulds and parts.
Epoxy resin (2-component)Used for laminating, bonding and casting in the thermoset part of the trade, where higher strength or better adhesion than polyester is required.
MEKP hardener (bottle)~ ~164 kr (500 ml, inkl. moms)Indicative · meripol.dk · 2026-07
Gelcoat (white, 1 kg)~ ~265 kr (1 kg, inkl. moms)Indicative · meripol.dk · 2026-07
PVC foam core material (Divinycell)Used in panels where stiffness is wanted without solid laminate thickness — e.g. boat hulls, decks, kayaks and wind turbine blade components.
Carbon fibre fabric (woven, 200 g/m²)Laminated with epoxy resin for light, stiff parts and visible finish layers (e.g. panels, sports equipment, parts for boats/aircraft) where the weight or appearance of glass fibre falls short.
Vacuum film for resin infusionUsed for vacuum infusion and vacuum bagging of glass-fibre/carbon-fibre laminates to press out air and excess resin and achieve a fibre-rich laminate with fewer voids.
Mould wax / release agentPolished/applied to the mould surface in several thin coats before gelcoat and lamination — crucial for mould life and for releasing the part without scratches or breakage.
Measuring tool
Digital slide gauge~ ~149 krIndicative · thansen.dk · 2026-06
Infrared (IR) thermometerUsed to check material and tool temperatures during thermoforming, extrusion and welding, where the plastic's temperature is decisive for the result.
Hand tools
Laminating roller (consolidation roller)Used during lamination to press resin into the glass-fibre mat and remove air bubbles, so the laminate becomes dense and strong.
Craft knife / utility knife with snap-off bladeUsed to cut plastic sheets, films and glass-fibre mats and to smooth and remove weld burrs on finished workpieces.
Safety equipment
Respiratory protection — half mask with A2P3 filter~ ~575 krIndicative · SB Herning (3M) · 2026-06
Nitrile disposable gloves (box of 100 pcs.)~ ~55 kr (100 stk.)Indicative · huma.dk · 2026-06
Safety glassesUsed for laminating, sanding and cutting plastics to protect against resin splashes, glass-fibre dust and chips.
Dust mask FFP3 (disposable)~ ~211 kr (2-pak, 3M Aura FFP3)Indicative · harald-nyborg.dk · 2026-07
