Polyester Resins 435 Standard Polyester Layup Resin (Marine Grade Resin) Kit contains Resin, MEKP catalyst and Surfacing Wax. Mix MEKP with all coats plus surfacing wax with outer coats. 435 is our most popular resin for marine construction, repair and general automotive applications.Excellent for all types of fiberglass lamination, layup, and repair work. Good strength and nice wet out make this resin very popular. Color: Dark Amber/Purple Polyester Material Info: Polyester resins are the most commonly used matrix in the marine and composite industry. These resins are styrene-based, flammable and catalyzed when combined with Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide(MEKP). When working with these resins in large projects it is advised to use gloves and a chemical respirator to protect yourself from the fumes. These resins can be used with any type of fiberglass, carbon fiber or kevlar, as well as used over urethane foam and other sandwich core materials. These resins tend to be fairly rigid when cured and also more brittle than epoxy resins. Sales Info: All resins and gelcoats are sold without wax(sanding aid) premixed in the resin: Surface wax is shipped separately with the kit.Wax is use on finishing coats. Unwaxed resin can be re-coated with little to no prep work but will leave a tacky surface. Mix the wax(sanding aid) with your resin only on your final coats in order to allow easy sanding. Remember MEKP must also be used when adding surfacing wax.Catalyst and Surfacing Wax/Mixing Ratios: All resin prices include catalyst. 1 Quart= 1ounce, 1 Gallon=2ounce, 5gal=6ounce. The amounts included can be varied based on your temperature and desired curing times. Cooler temperatures may require a higher % of catalyst than warm conditions. If additional catalyst(MEKP) is needed please order separately. Shelf Life: When purchasing our resins we guarantee their performance for 3 months after your purchase if stored at room temperature with their lids sealed. These resins can last longer than our 3 month guarantee, but we recommended testing a small cup of the resin before using it on an important project. Also, if the resins sit for over a month, we recommended shaking the sealed can or stirring the contents to ensure all solids are properly distributed.

Quarts and Gallons can be shipped by Ground with no extra fees with a maximum of one gallon per box. 5 Gallon pails can be shipped by UPS Ground only. Orders for multiple 5 GAL pails can be shipped by a common carrier(freight line) but require delivery to a commercial location.
