I've been using Nexus Cloth (a light non-woven polyester cloth) set in epoxy to protect PW from checking. It has always worked for me. This isn't a process for...
I had never heard of 'Nexus Cloth' before but here's something I found online: "Nexus is polyester cloth used as the outside covering material in fiberglass...
Jerry I think you need to know they use polyester fabric as peel ply with epoxy. You would be better off to just use fiberglass. And the cost is not going to...
I have used Nexus Cloth and epoxy and they work will together, All Nexus cloth does is give you an even coat of epoxy that doesn't run off the part. :) Also...
