Does anyone know if the fiberglass parts supplied  by ZAC are polyester or epoxy resin?

Dave,

The original parts were polyester.  Can't say about current ones, but 

I'd bet they still are.

Polyester probably, Isophthalic maybe, epoxy mostly  likely not.  My guess would be polyester, because it's the easiest to get  and cheapest.  If they have their work done at a real fiberglass shop  (which I doubt, because of the poor workmanship), it would be Isophthalic.   Most shops buy Isophtahalic in bulk, it's  easier to work, used a lot in chopper guns and is chemical resistant.  

  

 But, Polyester is fine for the kind of parts they  supply.  They are not high stress parts and don't need to be chemical  resistant.

Dave,



If your asking polyester vs epoxy because you plan to add material to the tips, I seem to recall using epoxy when I modified the really poor quality parts supplied.   I believe epoxy resin will stick to either, but polyester resin has a hard time with anything except polyester.



Rough up the surface before applying, mix in micro-balloons, and when dry, you can shape it to whatever.  I can not believe ZAC sends out such poor quality fiberglass parts...
