Re: Epoxy or Polyester as I replace large sections of Deck Core

Re: Epoxy or Polyester as I replace large sections of Deck Core

Re: Epoxy or Polyester as I replace large sections of Deck Core

Had almost the same damage on one of my keels that was repaired with polyester. Hauled the boat the next year and three quarters of it had peeled of. Repaired myself with epoxy at that point and no...

Re: Epoxy or Polyester as I replace large sections of Deck Core

Re: Epoxy or Polyester as I replace large sections of Deck Core

Re: Epoxy or Polyester as I replace large sections of Deck Core
