Checking a hull's integrity.
In article , I am Tosk wrote:
In article , says... Please excuse my ignorance. Are polyester and epoxy the same thing? Also, you say 'assuming the hull is polyester', do you mean as opposed to wood, steel or aluminium? [snip] Epoxy and Polyester are different things. Polyester is generally used for laminating like building your FG boat, Epoxy has more adhesive properties and is used for types of construction other than laminating. Epoxy can be used for laminating but it would be expensive and the process would be tedious. Rather than go through it all again, look back just about a week for Tim's thread on the exact same subject. It is full of everything you are looking for here. I'm not sure if you meant this thread (which mentioned repairs) or that long one where there was talk of chemical reactions, catalysts and the linking of molecules, but I re-read them both and have a better idea now. I skipped most of the second thread due to it being so far over my head that I didn't understand, but reading it whole, instead of piecemeal as people replied back and forth, it makes more sense to me now. Thanks for the pointer. Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |
