Now which one is a no no to use, epoxy or polyester resin? I was thinking polyester is bad because if I am not mistaken I had some plastic melt before. Polo.. |

Post Number: 19711 Registered: Oct-05 | i think if put alot of hardner it might melt cause it gets hot. but if you use just the right amount, it should be fine. here's an idea tough. why not tape it off first then lay down the resin mat. then resin it. the pull it off. after that stick it on there using glue or some other form of adhesive. |
