Here We Go Again

I used to think the same way but apparently we were wrong. It's true that the epoxy gives a stronger bond but the vinylester is pleanty strong. The problem comes in when you try to use epoxy on part of the project and then vinylester on another...you have to be careful not to vinylester over an area that you already epoxied...I did not want to have to worry about that. I think it's best to stay with one type of resin on a project. This is my first time using vinylester. I've always used epoxy. Other then the fumes I like working with it as it wet's out the material well. Theres also the cost of the two... my supplier wants $450 for a 7 gallon kit of epoxy versus $160 for a 5 gallon kit of vinylester. Thats $64/gallon of epoxy versus $32/gallon for vinylester. Thats probably the reason as to why you see all the Pro repair shops using vinylester. So I guess well see how the vinlyester works on this project. Your boat came out cherry BTW nice job
