(the following was provided by a member of the S2 6.9 Class regarding resins used by the factory): This much we know. S2 definitely switched from common polyester resin to AME4000 at some point in 1984. This was done because of blister problems their early boats were exhibiting. AME 4000 was a hybrid resin which had properties similar to vinylester and epoxy. S2 referred to it as a "modified epoxy". I spoke with someone from the Gougone Brothers (makers of WEST) when I redid my bottom. They were familiar with AME4000 and referred to it as an "excelent product". |
