I have a repair to do to my waggon following the MOT man trying to close the bonnet with the prop up (crrraaaack!).
It's a CSM laminate so nothing posh. I've repaired with polyester before but I seem to remember reading that vinylester has a better bond for repairs? Have I imagined this or is there some truth in it? I've never used Vinylester before so if it's true are there any pitfalls I should look out for?
Thanks guys
