I did use polyester resin years ago, but gave up on it. Now, I just use an Epoxy. Not just for the reasons listed above, but since my wife was diagnosed with lung prolems and Asthma, she cannot take the odor and outgassing of the polyester. In fact, I cut back on use of Ambroid because of this.
Also, sometimes for small areas, I might use a medium CA for the fiberglass.
