Vinyl Ester Resins
Here's an open question:
Byron used to use polyester resins for a ton of molding and the planes still seem to finish and fly well enough, but it's out of vogue and really is smelly-epoxy's stronger etc...
What about Vinyl Ester resins? Has anyone had any experience with molding up fuselages/parts with it? From a brush-over review of the qualities, it seems to have better properties than poly, but less strength than epoxy.
Can it be used successfully (easily) for composite laminates where carbon fiber is used?
Pot life, thin film and working time?
Biggest deal for me-cure time to pull from the mold?
