Plastikit Poly Resin is a 1 litre tin of polyester resin for glass fibre work: repairing car bodies, boats and garden ponds, building new parts, and general repairs. Laid up with glass fibre mat it hardens in about 30 minutes at 20C and faster, in 15-20 minutes, at 25C, so the temperature in your garage sets your working time.

Good to know

• How long do I have to work? About 30 minutes to harden at 20C and 15-20 minutes at 25C, so on a warm day mix smaller batches and have the mat cut before you start.
• Do I need glass fibre mat? Glass fibre resin gets its strength from the mat or tissue it is worked into, so use it with mat rather than on its own as a filler.
• How should I prepare the surface? Plastikit ask for it clean, dry and free of grease; sand it to a key first so the resin has something to grip.
• Is it a structural repair? Rust in load-bearing parts of the body, such as near suspension or seat belt mounts, needs a proper repair, normally welding; filler or glass fibre there fails the MOT.

Which one?

Pair it with the Plastikit Professional Glass Fibre Mat Size 5m2 (FIBRE/5). For a complete GRP kit in one box, see the Plastikit PK1 resin and glass fibre repair kit; Fastglas Resin (RE/XL, 1 litre) is dry in under 30 minutes.
