FGCI’s Boatyard Resin is an entry level resin consisting of a number of different resin blends from our General Purpose, Isophthalic and Vinyl Ester resins. Due to the blending, this is considered an NSR, which is a non spec resin and should not be used below the waterline. It is also the least corrosion, water and chemical resistant polyester fiberglass resin we offer.
However, out of all of our resins, it is by far the most affordable! This boat fiberglass resin is most used for the manufacturing of above the waterline parts like hatches, center consoles, hard shell T-tops, small repairs and many other small parts.
This marine fiberglass resin blend is easy to wet out or spray up (if spraying, use ⅛” nozzle), and has fantastic flexural and tensile strength.
With FGCI, you can rest assured that your batch will be within specs every time (unless a non spec item), with the same color, viscosity, strength and application characteristics as you would expect from a high quality product.
This boat yard polyester resin is available in 1 Quart, 1 Gallon, and 5 Gallon Pail options.
Step 1:
Choose the appropriate volume for your project. The type of fiberglass used will determine the amount of resin needed. If spraying, mix no more than a pint at a time, to ensure enough working time.
Step 2:
Make sure to agitate or stir the product thoroughly before use (approximately 3 minutes).
Step 3:
Mix 1 to 2.% MEKP, in resin solution thoroughly. Please refer to the Catalyst Concentration Chart for Quantities.
Step 4:
Thinner fiberglass can easily be wet through. To thoroughly wet out heavier materials, apply resin first to one side, then flip the glass over to wet out the other side. Use paint-style rollers to distribute resin quickly.
Step 5:
Roll each layer with a glass roller to remove air. The fiberglass will go completely transparent when it is adequately wet.
Step 6:
Add Sanding Aid (Product #123833) to the final coat to allow a full cure and a tack-free surface. Refer to Sanding Aid Chart for quantities.
Cleaning General Purpose Polyester Resin: Use Acetone to clean brushes and rollers. A small bucket of solvent can be used to clean tools.
PLEASE NOTE: This information is provided in good faith and correct to the best of our knowledge. No warranty, guarantee, or representation is made as to the sufficiency of the information for the safe use of the product, nor to relieve the end user of any Federal, State, or Local regulatory responsibility.
Sanding Aid is often added to the final layer of lamination, allowing a full cure and tack-free surface. This is because polyester resins are air inhibited and do not normally cure completely on the surface.
There is the possibility of wax added to this resin.
Yes, but only up to 3% max by weight.
You will have up to 18 hours to apply additional layers without sanding. Once resin has cured completely, we recommend sanding prior to applying additional layers.
