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 what percentage is that compared to the entire boat?

and run the chances of developing an alergic reaction.

Mmm.... allergic vs whatever you get from inhaling styrene (carcinogenic)
fumes.....

PLEASE - the
whole polyester vs epoxy controversy has been done to death. I know -

It is then all the more surprising to see you went for poly..... :-)

May I call to your attention an earlier post, from the original poster?




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.



Those of us who choose to build with poly do so knowing full well the
potential consequences of our actions. We have heard the arguments,
perhaps more of them than we care to hear, and will proceed on our
decided course, regardless. You are welcome to sit back and smugly
think, "Those a$$(#*$* are going to get themselves killed, and I'll be
right there to say I told you so", but quit trying to convince us otherwise.

FWIW, I use epoxy and poly both, depending on what I'm building.
