Is it possible to use Raumer P-shaped anchors with Collinox Resin.ie the one in the glass tube.
Any info would be great.

The formal answer is no, you should only use the recommended resin and follow the specified procedure of the anchor manufacturer.  This is to try and ensure you achieve the strength as laid down by the British Standard for mountaineering anchors.

If you want to mix and match then how will you know what the strength of the anchor is?  Anchor / resin systems are not as simple as they look, but two points I will make is that removing all the dust is ESSENTIAL, as can be ensuring the resin is kept dry.  See Speleology of a few issues ago for one example of how it can go wrong.

I strongly recommend you approach your regional caving council bolting coordinator for advice.  PM me for details if you need them.
