Curious I need to combine some plastics like used on car interiors with a speaker pod build and fiberglass/resin. Now which one is a no no to use, epoxy or polyester resin? I was thinking polyester is bad because if I am not mistaken I had some plastic melt before. Polo.. |

my pods were built using polyester resin, nothing melted.
if you are really concerned test a piece that would be hidden first.. i just don't see the plastic melting unless its quite thin |

I have always used poly for coating inside of my boxes but you ever use plastic mixing cups, melt them ever time. Polo. |

i think if put alot of hardner it might melt cause it gets hot. but if you use just the right amount, it should be fine.
here's an idea tough. why not tape it off first then lay down the resin mat. then resin it. the pull it off. after that stick it on there using glue or some other form of adhesive. |

Actually it is just a glass back for my Q-pods so it will need to bond directly to it and be permanent. Thanks for the replies..Polo. |
