Description: Polyester resins are the most commonly used matrix in the marine and composite industry. These resins are styrene-based, flammable and catalyzed when combined with Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide(MEKP). When working with these resins in large projects it is advised to use gloves and a chemical respirator to protect yourself from the fumes. These resins can be used with any type of fiberglass mat, woven roving, biaxial, cloth as well as used over urethane foam and other sandwich core materials. Polyester GP Resin is general purpose polyester resin. Contain wax. Amounts of MEKP to use denpens on your working time. You can slow it down for more work time, or speeded up for less work time. But cannot add below 1/2% or exceed 2%. of MEKP. Must be mixed thoroughly for a minimum of 2 minutes. Work time is 15-25 minutes at approx 77 degrees Fahrenheit with 1 %. Complete cure 45 minutes to 3 hours. Do not use below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed. Resin Consumption: 2 parts resin, 1 part glass, by weight. Remove air with a Bubble Buster Roller. May recoat within 24 hours by sanding the surface. Is not UV stabilized and should be coated with a gel coat with wax . Resin may be thinned with styrene by adding no more than 10% by volume. A fillers ( Cab o sil or Qcell ) may be add to make putty. May add up to 4% pigment, by volume, for coloring.
