| Vinylester / Epoxy I'm looking for a good comparison between vinylester and epoxy resins. Distributors of epoxy generally exagerate on the lower performance and quality of vinylester. But aren't Nautor's Swan yachts built in glass/vinylester? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, miguel miguel_noe@yahoo.com  |

| Nautor's Swan yachts are well done cruisers, not high tech racers. If you use only fiberglass in a cruiser, vinylester is the right choise, if you build a high tech yacht with carbon or kevlar, use epoxy. Also if you bond wood (plywood, cedar strips) use epoxy. Here is a view of SP systems: http://www.spsystems.com/pdfs/SP%20G...%20Systems.pdf Terho |
