EFC's training facility in the ROCva-building in Hoofddorp, The Netherlands has become ready for use in October. On the photo below, behind the work benches, a mixing table and an explosion proof storage cupboard with extraction are shown. There also is a freezer for composite material storage and an oven for controlled curing objects created / repaired during the courses. Hotbonders are also available.
