KR> thinning micro/Vinyl Ester

Seth, No need to bash on the group. I think the lack of answer is because not many people are using micro with Vinylester. You would be much more likely to get a good answer on the GlasAir list where nearly everything is done with vinylester resin. The simple answer would be to take a day

Thank you, Paul--I did appreciate your initial response below but was not sure from it whether you were specifically addressing my particular question about vinylester and isopropyl. I knew that I could use thinners with micro in the way you described but wanted to be aware if there were any

Thank you very much, Jeff and Jon-- I'm sorry for the earlier unnecessarily general reaction. Only one response surprised me and I'm embarrassed that I let it bother me. This group has been nothing but helpful and encouraging to me for the past three years. Jeff, thank you for all that you

You are probably finding out the hard way that nobody has an answer because nobody has tried it. As a rule of thumb I wouldn't put a thinner in resin for a structural application because it will likely leave voids in the resin as it evaporates...but I love using it with epoxy and micro as a

I apologize for sharing information on this list about the challenges of actually applying the Vinyl Ester. It was superfluous...sorry! I should have made it clear that my decision to use Vinyl Ester on a composite fuel tank was/is a good one based on research and after weighing many other

So Why are you using it? There are very few requirements for using Vinyl Ester. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics Peoples Choice at 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN Best KR at 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN

Yes, thanks, there are many warnings--it is evil stuff. I use 1-2 CCs of it for each 8 oz. of Vinyl Ester resin and the reaction actually raises the temperature of my garage while it sets. I've started doing my layups early in the morning so I can leave it all outside in the sun and open

Be very, very careful with anything containing MEKP. It destroys eye tissue and there isn't much you can do once you get it in your eye. Chris On 9/24/2014 12:48 PM, Dan Prichard via KRnet wrote: > >From what I understand is MEKP is the resin catalyst. The P stands for > >peroxide. MEK is a

KR> thinning micro

Thanks--just wanted to know if MEK or Isopropyl alcohol (or any such thinners) can be used specifically with Vinyl Ester which uses MEKP as the catalyst. I know the thinners can be used with Aeropoxy but this Vinyl Ester stuff is definitely different to work with so I wondered if there were

KR> thinning micro

Yes you can thin your resin/micro. The best stuff to use is MEK. MEK substitute is ok to use also but it takes a little longer to evaporate out.? Something you can do is to mix a batch of micro up so thick it brakes the stick then slowly put in some MEK to a consistency of a warm milk shake and
