Hello, List,
The original post was in reference to ECO resin with which we had 2
failures. The resin sort of collapsed anteriorly above the reinforcement.
The replies mentioned many different types of resins that others prefer. I
am not going to quote them - we are all aware of them. One person reported
that he did have many problems with ECO resin and discontinued its use in
his lab. Several replies confirmed that ECO resin tends to be less strong
and more flexible and that one have to adjust the layup accordingly. There
was also a mention of expiration date on the contained of the resin. To my
shame, I never looked at it, and in fact was not even aware that there is an
expiration date MARKED on the container. In fact, the gallon we used and had
problems with was expired. So, I might attribute the failures to this fact.
Thank you all for participating.
