Default 88 Baja resin type?

I have to make some stringer and floor repairs to my 226 Sport and want to make sure I used the correct type of resin. Anyone know what Baja was using in 88'?

Yep . . . VE all they way. . . .


A quote from Steve1

"If one looks at the physicals you will find the Vinyl Ester at nearly twice; Example on Tensile strength the polyesters are say 6000 (resin crumbles before glass is fully loaded) and the Vinyl Esters are around 11000..Also little things like secondary bonding a big Plus there.. But there is a drawback they cost nearly twice also. For the Better resins.

Elongation was mentioned before; the more sophisticated resins more closely match glass fabrics in this area. Also HDT is better and shrinkage is much less... "



uscomposites.com has a nice VE that wont break the bank
