This is a similar usage case to Anchoring_Cement_Application, however, in this case, instead of using a dedicated anchoring product for this, we are simply using excess gelcoat. Polyester resin is a fairly strong adhesive, and in this scenario, the goal is to get pegboard on a concrete wall. Since this is a low weight, non critical application (i.e. the weight of pegboard with tools is minimal, and this is indoors), we can get away with using any leftover gelcoat or polyester resin.
This is a good use of leftover resin.
Items Needed
- Extra Resin or Gelcoat
- Catalyst
- Mixing Cup
- Popsicle Stick
- Syringe
- Rags
- Acetone
For this type of application, you will want to use a syringe that has an opening large enough to work with the relatively viscous gelcoat or resin. Using Catalyst_Measuring_Syringes might not work, as catalyst is thinner. You may try cutting a thinner syringe near the end with a pair of pliers. For a small job, it should suffice.
