Ok, what do you guys use when mixing up resin? I had been under the impression it was polyester resin, but have been told in order to use it safely you need to use a full ventilation suit!
HELP!
Resin?
Resin is a very generic term. All polymers have a resin, and a catalyst. Resin can be polyester, epoxy, urethane...
The term "resin" generally applies to Urethane casting resin, but could also mean polyester fiberglassing resin.
Either way, the fumes are dangerous and precautions need to be taken. A full chemical respirator, eye protection, and gloves are a must. Wearing old clothes is a good idea, as you always get it on you.
