I looked and I found the other board is (rec.boats.building). The discussion to which I refered is called "glassing an older boat". Also there is a popular discussion going there called "Spousal approval" -- very contriversal due to sexual content. I really feel that I know much more about the benefits of polyester resin as opposed to epoxy after having read the most recent post. This helps me as I have been using epoxy coatings on wood shifters and emergency brake levers. I feel now that I should use polyester due to epoxy's need for a UV protective layer. Thank you much.
