[QUOTE="Ail, post: 366369, member: 14963"] If I remember correctly I think they were saying fiberglass resin, on its own, was not a good choice for lamenting plywood or other surfaces because it is brittle, leading to cracking and chipping. Epoxy resin is strong on its own and does not need structural reinforcement like fiberglass resin does to create a durable coating. Fiberglass resin is used in conjunction with fiberglass cloth to build and repair boats. Although nowadays many builders are just using epoxy for everything. At least I think that is what they were trying to convey. [/QUOTE]
