csm with vinylester
Im planning a complete rebuild for this winter which will include new stringers, deck integrated bracket etc., And I will be using vinylester exclusively.
I know that csm must be used between fabric layers when laminating with polyester, and that it is not necessary with an epoxy layup. My question is as to whether or not csm is necessary between fabric layers for bond and shear strength when using vinylester resin.
considering the total amount of material that will go into this project, if the csm is not needed I could save a lot of weight by eliminating it if it will provide no structural advantage.
