Benny -
its very similar to polyester resin - it just wont adsorb/absorb water - thats why its used in swimming pools and water tank repairs! Its often use in boat bottoms for that reason too. Nuplex has got some neat handouts they gave me - but mine are onboard in NZ so I can't send em to ya.
It can painted with anything that sticks to polyester resin. You can add dyes to it as well to color it as its laid up. Will you be casting with or without reenforcement ('glass)? How thick - I ask as it is exothermic and can get hot as it cures - if you tell them (Nuplex/'ATI) they might have a 'promoted version that will layup thicker. Else you can lay up a bit at a time prolly 1/4 inch or so?
Is this for the sea-shell frames - they look real cool.
cheers - Jim
