Isn't cure time also a big factor in more complex lay-ups?


It is, but it's not a strong factor either way in the rant at hand.
While commercially available vinylesters are generally pre-promoted
for a working time of around 20 minutes, formulators can (for a price)
supply un-promoted resin, and can also supply it promoted for working
times up to about 2 hours.

Thanks, Bob K.
