    no iso resin is not ment for carbon only epoxy and vynilester or hectron 197 is to be used
    but even vynilester is not the strongest so if your repairing and carbon hat uses a finishing epoxy

    hetron 197 has a fire retarden in it
    vynilester doesnt
    epoxy has no fire retardent in either

    iso resin is a a good quality polyester resin but doesnt work with carbon.

    all resin a good against thinners and most chemicals.

    google proper resin to use to fix carbon is a good start

    hope this helps

    could not find it locally was suggested to use iso polyester. Can iso polyester be used just to build mill thickness where buterflyes sit? Or will methanol soften it up. Great info. Going to have to find a source to buy a gallon. Any ideas where to get it.

    Well my I so polyester resin (fuel resistant) variety worked very well at closing up clearances on butterflies and resisting methanol.
    If anyone needs any it came from express composites in mpls men.
