I am starting to do some fiberglass work on my car(DRB#5) and after doing some research, have come up with some questions. When these cars were manufactured, what type of resins did they use in their builds. Was it polyester or epoxy? In my readings I came across some information that make it relevant. Acording to what I read, if you have polyester resins, it can be repaired or added to, with either epoxy or polyester. If you have epoxy on the other hand you have to use epoxy. If you use polyester on epoxy, it will seperate after a couple of years. They also said that when you sand it, or rough it up, that epoxy smells like epoxy and polyester has a chemical like smell. Care to comment on that?? What do you guys know concerning these findings?? Should I just use an epoxy just to be safe?? It is a little more expensive.
