Poly vs. West system for blister repair- opinions?

Post by Sue »

Here we are again about those nasty little blisters! I've seen lots of favorable comments about the West system for blister repair on this board. It seems to be the best known and easiest for do it your selfers to use. But some people say poly is a better product to use. Any experiences or opinions?

Sue, If memory serves, there was an article in the April '98 issue of "SAIL" that addressed the use of poly vs epoxy for fiberglass repairs. I believe epoxy was the preferred choice. Jerry
