: Speaking of end pours, I plan to do mine soon, but I'm almost out of epoxy so
: I picked up some general purpose fiberglassing resin with the little tube
: of catalyst. will it do a proper job for an end pour??

: Thanks for advice on this one.

Polyester resins do not adhere to epoxy resins.

Epoxy resins will adhere to polyester if the surfaces are preped properly,

but, you cannot use polyester over epoxy! It will not bond.

Sorry I didn't catch this sooner, I hope it's not too late.... :(
