I keep seeing people refer to “resins” and I am curious what exactly a resin is. Do they mean fiberglass, epoxy, or something like Liquid Glass?
The word resin is a generic term that can cover a wide range of adhesives/sealants. Epoxy resin, polyester resin, vinyl ester resin are all included in the resin category along with other resins that can range from pheonelics, to animal and plant resins….such as “pearl glue” made from rendered animal hooves/connective tissue, and resins made from tree sap, rice, etc. So what type of “resin” they use can vary widely. The next question is probably “which resin is best?” …. In short the answer is “there is no best.” If there was a best option for every usage then everyone would be using it.
