That was Doug Rupert. Copy attached. I originally asked the question and never really got a direct answer on wheather or not it is needed with VE resin or just with polyester resin. I just laid up some glass with some VE on a piece of cardboard. I put some PVA in a hair spray bottle and sprayed one half of it to experiment. I'll see if both halves dry O.K. by tomorrow and see how they sand and report my results. One thing I did find is that the VE does melt through a thin disposable plastic cup after about 20 minutes so watch what you mix it in. I believe it also disolves some types of foam. The ACS catalog has information on what is compatible with what in the foam section and you should also try it on a scrap first.
I bought my VE almost six months ago and it is about as thick as warm honey so I think it is on its way out, but still usable. Doug's email: Gene; One coat brushed directly to inner surface. As long as the VE has not had wax added or Air Dry no sanding needed. I have been watching the PVA thread and wondered why go to all the trouble when resin/material suppliers all carry Air Dry which is especially made to eliminate the tackiness problem and is used for the final lay-up for a smooth slick surface that is tack free. It just mixes with the resin after the hardener has been added according to the manufactures proportions and works like a charm and doesn't clog the sandpaper if later modifications or repairs are required.
