Resin question??
What's the best/correct resin to use on SMC? I know it has to be epoxy based, but what's the best brand to use and where can I get it? I heard people using evercoat SMC resin but it's poly based? Thanks for the help.

You have to use an epoxy resin. I have tried polyesther resin also as an experiment on a piece of SMC and it will not impregnate the fibers properly. I used a resin made by Ciba Geigy but it seems that they sold their plastics brands called Araldite. I think that Araldite is stillin the market but not owned anymore by Ciba ( now Novartis, and was part of the pharmaceutical)
They where great products.
