I just got my copy of Runabout Renovation (thanks to somebody here who pointed it out) and the author suggests using poly resin for repairs.. Is that simply because epoxy was really expensive when the book was written?<br /><br />The reason I ask is that I like using poly resin, I like being able to adjust the drops of catalyst to control the curing speed (as opposed to having to keep multiple catalysts on hand). Not to mention that I can mix one ounce easily for small repairs.<br /><br />I'm mostly filling small holes and gouges in a 1969 fiberglass boat, obviously if I use poly I'll need to sand the surface prior to application and watch for shrinkage..
