Whew! Boy, am I relieved! My entire Flying Squirrel is constructed with extruded polystyrene board and Aeropoxy. Some of the layups are now more than 10 years old with nary a sign of delamination, degradation, or any other material incompatibilities. And I can mix Aeropoxy in the garage (right outside the kitchen) all day long and not even get a minor complaint from my wife. If I open a can of spray paint in the garage and just test the spray pattern on a piece of cardboard, she will be out the door in a flash and ask me to take it somewhere else.

Mine is the right way round fellas. Polyester does all that is described as bad and it absorbs water as well unless well sealed.

Jeff, You're absolutely right, I got it backwards. I can's believe after using it all this time I can't keep the terms straight.

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.
