oh dear !
sorry to hear of your misfortune Dave
…perhaps I should have written at the very beginning of this thread
in capital letters …
" WARNING …THIS THREAD IS ABOUT POLYESTER RESIN FIN PANELS " …???
And , this will make you either laugh or cry , Dave … do you know how I got Hicksy’s epoxy one off the glass it stuck to ? [this is true] …
I wrapped it in THREE thick garbage bags , put on thick gardening gloves , full protective gear [including goggles , headphones , mask and cap .]
Put it inside a big plastic “wheelie bin” [a mobile garbage bin we have here in west australia .
then … guess what I did ?
yep …
got the biggest , strongest hammer Hicksy had .
and …
SMASHED THE CRAP OUT OF THE GLASS , TILL EVERY LAST SPLINTER WAS OFF THE PANEL .
yep , dangerous ,
yep , scary …
yep … lesson learnt !
I wonder if those ‘overhead transparency’ thick plastic thingys would work with mould release , when using epoxy ?
Blakestah [and others who make epoxy fin panels regularly …halcyon ?? ] …
WHAT do YOU guys lay your panels up on , and do you HAVE to use mould release agent [?a wax?] with epoxy fin panels ALL the time ?
Any help / advice MUCH appreciated , as I , too, will be laying up epoxy in the future at some stage [less smell, for close-quarter living , such as my habitation …]
cheers !
