VE will re-bond to itself, but not to other resins. Dan Diehl just told me to scuff it all the way down to the glass if I was not going to use VE and because of the small amount of resin that I was going to need, advised me not to bother with VE if I would sand it down as he prescribed.
So, I suggest that if you still have a lot of glass work to do bonding to VE keep going with the VE. However, I think that it is the most difficult of all the resins, to work with because of the sticky outer layer. It has that layer because it is made to be used in LAMINATIONS, putting one layer on top of another. If that is not your purpose, then you are better off to stay away from the Esters.
