We will be running a series of live demonstrations on our stand (J401, Ocean Hall) at TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show showing visitors how to get the most from our epoxy products. The Show takes place from 14th to 23rd September 2018.

The WSI team will be on hand throughout the Show to answer any questions about WEST SYSTEM® products. WSI's technical experts will be able to offer advice on your projects and the use of epoxy for boat building, repair and maintenance. The team will also be able to talk about the PRO-SET® range of versatile epoxies for high-performance composites. PROSET epoxy is used in the production of the supremely successful Maguire Boats Exocet Moth.

Live demonstrations will be held at 12:00 and 14:30 each day on the West System International stand (J401).

"Sharing our knowledge is a key element of what we do at West System International so we really look forward to running our live demonstrations at the Show. Southampton Boat Show is also a great opportunity for us to talk to the people who use our products and to hear about their projects." - Ian Oliver, Managing Director of WSI.
