Another thing the truck guy needs to remember is most if not all fuel systems

Hi Netters.
Polyester stinks. I mean it has a terrible odour.Epoxy is not nearly as bad.
Polyester will adhere to glass cloth and urethane foam just like epoxy will.
Polyester will not last as long on top of wood that is exposed to sun and
rain as will epoxy. Water tends to diffuse through polye

Hi guys,
I have been reading the comments about polyester resin.
Just a thought, what about surfboards they have been around for 40 years. They
are made from a block of foam then cut in half & a thin wood stringer is glued
in the middle. Then the shaper shapes the board, then it is glassed with

Can anyone tell me if polyester resin is safe to use on polyurethane foam,
as far as I know it should be ok, and how well does polyester resin stick to
wood spars, it seems polyester is very very cheap, about $12 dollars per
gallon. I have been told there is a epoxy made by the araldite peop

Hi Chris,
My understanding is that polyester resin is no where near as strong as
epoxy, it's perfect for building boats, where they make it about an
inch thick, but unsuitable for high stress applications.

Hi Netter.
I have spoken to several commercial boat builders about adding polyester onto
epoxy. There answer is NO. It wont stay stuck.
Then what about epoxy onto polyester. There answer is again " no " but in
smaller letters. The claim is that vibration and flexing as in a boat will

So,
Hang on, you said you have a pair of wing skins made from Vinyl Ester resin,
well that's a horse of a different color.
Did you know, epoxy resin and methacrylic acid form the base for Vinyl Ester
resin; Styrene monomer is then added as a diluent to give the Vinyl Ester a
lower viscosity. Promoter
