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

Get epoxy and learn how to apply it efficiently before learning on the hull. Savings in lower cost polyester can be lost with a messy application. If there is epoxy spilled on the inside then the polyester and glass won't bond well to it. Get the shop space warm enough (>70)so that epoxy is thin and can be controlled well.
