A friend of mine did tests bonding WRC strip planking with VE thickened of course with silica and, as you would expect, the failure was in the...
Gonzo, Of course i have searched for data pertaining specifically to adhesive strength, i collect the TDS for any resins i use and have yet to...
Even if there were only one test on a TDS it would be better than none. For half a century we have been marketed to by epoxy manufacturers that...
I understand that there are variables as there are in all of the tests on the TDS but i presume that if all the samples are tested by the same...
We have been led to believe for years that epoxy has the best bond strength followed by VE and PE but i have never seen any test results to verify...
Thanks for the reply. I assume that the information on the TDS is for fully cured resin, regardless of type. West epoxy 105/205 is about 7900 psi...
We used to use lots of resorcinol back in the 1970's and i never had a problem with it but a workmate had his eyes swell closed any time he used...
As others have pointed out, waaay too much glass and too thin of a core. One ply of the 17oz on each side of a thicker core would be more than...
A decade ago my son and i attended a 3 day workshop with Derek Kelsall to gain hands on experience with resin infusion. The workshop was actually...
I have been using epoxy and polyester resins for more than 50 years, vinylester for probably 20 years. Like most people i have generally assumed...
Never said anything was amazing, just pointing out that polyester and vinylester are not some second grade choice. Most production boats these...
Vinylester is not only a less expensive option but is also superior in many ways to the epoxies most of us have available. I don't know where you...
Got any more photos? Hard to tell anything from one photo.
