Hey all. 

When having to repair an existing part what is the best way to find out what resin the part is made of?



Is there a simple method to detect the poliéster or epoxy? 





I have been told to burn the resin and detect the color of the smoke (black = poliester ,  colourless = epoxy).

This obviously is not a very practical method with existing parts that need repair.



Thanks in advance.
