Overview
|
Polyester resins are hygroscopic (they draw moisture from the air). There are two types of resin, and one or both types may be required, depending on the application. Type "A" resin has a small amount of wax in it, which comes to the surface and forms a barrier against the moisture. This permits the resin to cure completely and the surface is hard and easily sanded. Bond Coat "B" resin does not have any wax content.
As a result the surface stays a little tacky, as the surface cure is being inhibited by moisture. This tacky surface provides excellent adhesion between coats. Bond Coat resin is therefore recommended for the first coat of resin to fill the weave of the glass cloth, for bonding fiberglass cloth to plywood or other surfaces and for multi-layers of glass cloth. #L253T-20 is a general purpose bond coat ortho resin for use in making multi laminates. It will not cure to a high gloss finish. Use 1520-5 for finish coat to obtain smooth, hard gloss finish. Replaces #1063-5. Below resins are not for use in making fuel tanks. For fuel tanks (except those for gasohol) use #6060-5 Isophthalic Resin.* * Iso Resin is highly flexible. Has excellent adhesion to metal, wood, concrete, fiberglass and other "hard-to-adhere" surfaces. Compatible with most fuels. Iso is a wax-free resin and must be over-coated with Type "A" Surfacing Resin to obtain a surface cure. |
