Polyester or Epoxy?

How do you calculate the cost benefit from this supposed longer life for epoxy, given that the life span is still generally indeterminate for both types under reasonable stresses? I have heard of very few poly boats disintegrating in any remarkably shorter time than epoxy, even in contests involving rocks and stuff. Such extremeist statements suggest you must be a berserker stock market manipulator with interests and positions in the epoxy chemicals market bordering so extremely on the insane as to suggest you sell epoxy mainly to be able to continue to dispose of toxic chemicals added in small amounts to the resins, just like some shampoo vendors I suspected of doing just that until your arguement was so strongly stated and foolishly revealed ;-) Now, as far as skin irritation and developed allergies and consequent lifetime sensitivities and costs associated with respirators, deformed babies, etc, I would favour poly quite strongly for a hobby builder, especially a relatively inexperienced one, especially for a first build. Commercially, the evidence is overwhelming. I cannot imagine anyone smart enough to be able to afford the costs of epoxy being insensitive to those cost benefit analyses so evidently performed and adhered to by professional builders. You just try to get an informed professional to build in epoxy and then count the costs. Wow! Sounds like some Canuck eco-wacko failed to get his rabies shot when it was due. Doesn't spell too well, either: extremEist; berserkER; arguEment; there must be a surplus of Es and Rs up there in the frozen north, EH? Well, just to indulge a whim before bedtime... I got a flu shot, essentially for free, here in N.B. Canada after a 20 minute wait at my local clinique. It was so cold, they shot it into my arm with a bb gun. If I was hugging a tree, it would only be to have a grip on it sufficiently firm that I could expedite it's insertion into one of your useless orifices. Or, I could wait quite a while until the right one becomes available for expansive exploratory applications. Any topical applications you might suggest? The last resort of frustrated non sequitorialist rambler bitche usegroup pussies is to attack spalling, using axe mini spool chequers is ewe kin git widow pain fur 'em, or your baby sister's ass. d'UuhH? Spell check that, Quixote fan. Do your Freudian slops, like your mother? I mean, what's your OT point? Just read over your post, and reflect on how petty seems your pseudo-intellectual questing to jot a tittle or two. Capice? If you don't feel insulted, you should get behind that. Or, maybe this response was the best compliment you ever got, or will get? Nobody cares. Contribute, or leech. -- Terry K - My email address is MY PROPERTY, and is protected by copyright legislation.
