can i fix a ding on polyester board with polystyrene resin?
I think you’ve got it backwards. The resin is what would be polyester and eps or styrofoam is the polystyrene (blank).
And NO, the polyester resin melts the eps.
If you do not have it backwards and you are refering to epoxy as “polystyrene resin” and you have a polyester glassed board, then YES, you can use epoxy on polyester boards.
some polyester resin can availible in polystyrene blanks.
well, i have a poliester board and i got my tail messed up.
i can’t buy a Quick Fix (or something), cause i live in Poland and it’s not available here so i looked for some substitute. the only resin i’ve found was “Repair Kit for cars”. On a box is written that this resin contains STYRENE, which i hope, refers to polistyrene:)
that’s why i asked this question:)
ps. what is EPS?
You will be fine with that car repair resin. There are 2 kinds - filler & thin resin to use with cloth. If you just have a crack, use the thin one & some cloth. Sand your damage first and then do the repair. When that’s hard, paint on another layer of the thin resin with no cloth. The Styrene is to help it set up. The second coat is the one you will sand back off (mostly) to make everything smooth.
If you have a hole or a crushed area, get the body filler car repair resin. It will probably be thick & opaque (not clear). But it can make a fine fill and it is easy to mix, easy to apply, and easy to sand back into shape. Once you’ve sanded it smooth, go over that with a repair with the thin stuff & cloth like I described above.
All those things are perfecty compatible with your board.
EPS is Expanded Poly Styrene which is a plain name for styrofoam or bead foam, like in beer coolers.
thanks a lot, y’all
I use my poliester at world famous Holiester ranch. The Holiester locals love my poliester board that uses clark foam and poliester resin. I will surf L***** Bay at PS VDes and my poliester will gain me acceptance.
I use YouVee (YV) equippped resin. Almost every American home has a YV, maybe two. But they don’t show Holiester on YV. Opps I mean TV.
