| − | + | This is a stronger version of polyester resin, and somewhere between polyester and epoxy in strength. It has the ease of workability of polyester and compliments the strength of fiberglass much better than polyester. Not usually needed in hotrodding. Vinyl ester is much more heat resistant than either of the polyester resins, and also chemical resistant. It also shrinks alot less, so print-through is less of a problem. If you want to easily make some very strong, rigid, and lightweight parts, use vinyl ester resin, along with either fiberglass mat or cloth, and add a layer of 6 oz carbon fiber in the middle of the laminate. | |
