Then in that case most of the retailers have got the
labeling wrong. If they call polyester resin "Epoxy" then
what do they call polyester resin ?
A shop I went to made distinct differences between the epoxy
resins and polyester resins they sold. If I buy a two part
resin which part A is labeled "contains %100 epoxy" and part
B is labeled "contains: > %70 aliphatic amines", then is
that polyester or epoxy ? , it doesn't need autoclaving
