Bending Resin Coated Plywood

Thank you everyone for your input. I will probably ignore the advise
to throw away my remaining resin and spend 3 times as much for epoxy
and run the chances of developing an alergic reaction. PLEASE - the
whole polyester vs epoxy controversy has been done to death. I know -
I've been part of it on this forum for years. I had hoped that this
thread wouldn't re-ignite it but it seems that it has. I went into the
project fully aware of the impact of my materials choices.

I will however plan on putting the panels in place before coating them
- reducing the chances of resin failure.

Hi,

You could use a bonding agent to go between the resin and wood to
improve the bond.

Someone here in the UK recommended Bondaglass G4 which is a moisture
curing polyurethane pond sealer. I'd have thought the nearest thing in
the US is POR-15, another moisture curing polyurethane coating.

It would be worth trying a few samples with a small amount of POR and
seeing how much better it is than without.

If you need a lot of it, an industrial coatings supplier might be able
to find something similar at a reasonable price.

cheers,
Pete.
