Hi Doran,
Been there done that. Epoxy resin will eat up polystyrene foam. As
John succinctly put it polyester resin won't and by the way doesn't gag
you with the smell. One other little thing I learned, polyester primer will
eat into it and produce gas bubbles, not good for the part. Use a 100%
acrylic primer after you have the surface smooth using polyester primer
mixed with micro to a peanut butter consistency you can mix a little
alcohol for spread ability . There is a lot to it, I have yet to get my
fiberglass parts to the finish I want.
