Questions on UV curing polyester resins.

wrote:
Two questions for people with knowledge or experience with the UV
curing polyester resins:

1) Are they (any of them) compatible with polystyrene foam?

2) Once the UV light has initiated the polymerization, will it spread
through the layup even into places where the light did not
penetrate? I'm thinking, for instance about the underside
of carbon fiber cloth.

Thanks.

it makes more sense to use thermo set epoxies. Stronger, better bond,
probably cheaper.
epoxies will not dissolve foam
