Nit picking - styrene monomer which polymerises to polyester. Plenty of

No, that's not true. Polyester resin doesn't adhere as well as epoxy to
cured polyester. Epoxy will always provide a good bond, *provided* that
you clean away the moul release agents from the surface. Roughen and
swab with acetone before attempting a repair.


Hmm, gotta say that has not been my experience, but I've only dabbled,
so I'm prepared to take your word for it.
