Hi all, I was thinking about this polyester resin vs. epoxy thing, and it occurs to me that polyester resin often ends up with traces or pockets of glycolic acid, which could corrode the tuning pins. I've done enough work on fiberglass boats (polyester resin construction) to know how nasty that glycolic acid can be. And it sticks around forever, rotting hulls from the inside out. I recently finished ridding the hull of one boat of some of its circa 1977 glycolic acid (which created osmotic blisters, for those of you who know what that is). I would think epoxy would be much kinder and gentler to the tuning pins. But of course it releases oils after it cures. So perhaps there's a problem there, too?
