Custom/Hybrid Carbon Rickter FS1 question

[jetx]

Does anyone know if a 2009 Rickter carbon FS1 would be made of epoxy or polyester resin?i know the early glass rickters were poly just not sure if carbon is compatible with polyester resins or not

You can use epoxy over poly. Just not poly over epoxy.

Appreciate that, more wondering what it is made of in the first place. Mainly not sure if carbon is compatible with polyester, if it isn’t than it is likely an epoxy made hull...anyone know forsure?

Another option, email RRP, I've done so in the past with questions. Not the quickest but Jose there did reply.

Jose doesn't work for Rick anymore, somebody will reply though.

if carbon then epoxy i would hope as polyester may not adhere correctly depending on weave and strand size..possibly vinylester at worst.
