My old Nautilus 8 Dinghy was damaged by Ivan and has a sizeable hole
in the side. I have some polyester resin on hand and I am wondering
if I can use it instead of expensive epoxy for a repair. Other than
some sanding, how do I prepare the surface to make sure the resin
adheres. The dinghy is at least 25 yrs old so is very weathered.

HAving repaired more than a few I would make note of the fact that ALL
sources say polyester to polyester is not recommended. Use Epoxy for all
repairs of polyester. PERIOD!
