Polyester Questions

Never heard of a styrene explosion.
If tanks are for drinking water resin should be vinyl Ester at a minimum.
Finish with tissue (veil) and a coat of waxed resin.
Working in the bilge though you should have some form of forced air movement.

Hmm. Ok. That's good.

I can't go near epoxy so the tanks would be vinylester. I was going to make them out of poly then coat with drinking water safe vinyl ester or have someone else coat with drinking water safe epoxy.

Getting tanks made was outrageous in price.

Do not work with any kind of resin in the bilge without proper ventilation.
I would cross ventilate as well as breathe supplied clean air as well.
If the fumes can still be felt on your eyes, your ventilation is not adequate.
After you’ve built a few fiberglass tanks, you’ll start to understand the beauty of plastic tanks!

I found a work around to avoid this project. They sell 45 gallon, rectangular polyethylene tanks that are marketed for RV/Motorhomes. Same exact tanks we normally use without the marine markup. I'm going to put a couple of those under some settees.

Hello, I have an interrater, maybe you can help solve it.
to stick pieces of vibrio fiber and polyester resin (helmet and cover) which will be the best pay. It has already tested epoxy filler and also polyester but continues to peel off.
More than what I want to get is the deck and hull of an optimist.
From already thank you very much

I think the translator program botched your post.
Are you trying to hold a cover onto an "optimist" with Velcro? And both epoxy and polyester are not sticking to the deck?
