Wilsor Polyester Resin Repair Kit

Application

Wilsor Polyester resin is a synthetic resin that hardens after the hardener has been added. Polyester resin is used in the manufacture of, for example, yachts, spoilers, sculptures, etc. Polyester resin obtains its strength by means of a reinforcement material such as glass mat, Kevlar or carbon. The resin can be applied to stone , steel , polyester and epoxy as long as the surface is grease -free and roughly sanded . Polyester resin does not adhere to epoxy, polyethylene and Teflon.

Reinforcement material

Since the polyester resin itself is quite brittle, you should reinforce it with a reinforcement material. This is, for example, fiberglass, carbon or Kevlar mat. These can be woven or laid in front as a chopping mat.
