Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy is fine.. I just had problems with the nidabond stuff. called 3 m and they recommend vacuum bagging well I could not vacuum bag the sides. so i mixed the stuff up and troweled it on the nidacor then on the hull sides. I really worked the nida bond into the scrim.. and then troweled on the hull sides clamped the top part and took a laminate roler and rolled the nidacore down... it worked okay for me. I then used polyester and glassed up the outside. i had a couple of dry spots on my first go around with this nida bond so that is why I smeared on scrim and hullside. plus if you use this you are subjected to just this stuff. Resin is more versatile and much better adhesion..imho
