ALL sources say polyester to polyester is not recommended. Use Epoxy
for all repairs of polyester. PERIOD!
I repeat, only idiots and shadetree bubbas (or an
emergency repair) ever use polyester to repaair polyester. I will
leave the details to the jillions of works on the subject.

Monte,

could you provide references for one or two readily available sources
that support your view? I've never had a problem with polyester to
polyester boat repairs. The polyester products I purchased provided
instructions for this type of repair.

So, I'm genuinely curious and open to learning something new.

Thank you very much,
Dave Wright

Not in the habit of indulging others intellectual laziness, but one well
respected expert book is Vaitses' Fiberglass repair book. Also
Internation MArine Publishers has a fair share, look at issues of This
Old Boat....and on and on and on.

Look it really doesn't matter if you wish to use something that might
sink you...same as getting bombed and jumping into your cigarette boat
and kissing jetties...it weeds out the genepool. What does bother me is
when the 'Hey y'all watch this' bunch starts handing out advice to
innocent trusting people.

If people want to eat pretzels, let 'em! But don't go giving them to
little Texas kids, they'll choke to death.
