Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?

No as the CFM would be penetrating the layup, just rip it a bit short before the scarf not cutting.

If the new core is a bit thinner than the old one grind/sand of a bit more of the scarf for the...

Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?

It's a roller either a metallic one with grooves or with plastic "brush" to force the air bubbles from CSM. With fabrics you can squeeze with spackle knife or similar to do the same and at the same...

Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?

That's a thick layup, way too thick and heavy me thinks. How thick was the core? And the CSM makes me wonder, as I'd never use on corecell anyway..

Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?

Just a couple of remarks:

If you had studied a bit of epoxy you'd known that warming up epoxy resin restores the liquid state.

Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?

Dunno about warm climates but I'm now using the last batches of West drum bought 12 years ago stored in my celler in about +15C and still good.

Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?

For fairing buy micro ballons (adds volume and easier sanding, not for high stress) and silica ie cap-o-sil (prevents sagging) and mix with the epoxy. You can use also other "additives" like talcum...

Re: Polyester resin shrinkage. Is this a real concern?
