polyester I liked.

In Response To: Epoxy: epoxy vs polyester resin (John Umlah)

A long time ago I built a plywood sail boat and covered the outside with Sears polyester and glass. What was so different about this was, the first coat was designed to dry tacky like tape. Then when you placed the glass on your boat it held in place and you didn't have a wrinkle problem and no slippage. Then when you put on the next regular polyester it finished setting up the first special coat. I thought it was great and I don't understand why you don't see it for sale anymore.
