Hi all. The resin I got was uv cleared but contains wax, good for ding repairs I guess (?) but can i use it to laminate the cloth to the blank if shaping a board?
That doesn’t sound like something I’d try… I suppose that if you laid your lam resin on extra extra thick, i.e. completely covering the weave and then some, you might be able to get away with it (and the worlds heaviest lamination)… but I still wouldn’t be suprise to learn that the wax sticks to the weave and causes problems? Best to stick with tried and true (if there’s ever a slogan for the non-inovative, do what’s been done crowd, I think that’s it)

Howzit Joe, Don’t use the resin for laminating. Save it for your hot coats and for ding repairs. If you use it for lamming your hot coat won’t adhere to the fiberglass lamination,in other words you’ll be screwed. Aloha, Kokua

Can gelcoat for boats be used to laminate? That’s wax free as I can understand? I know that I should get real resin, but I’m just curious…

Howzit Joe, I don’t think gel coat is an option for laminating. It’s good to let your mind run these kind of thoughts but resin or epoxy is what you want for laminating. Aloha, Kokua
