so i made a few peps out of 90lb card stock and clear scotch tape and im ready to resin but i just learned that resin and tape dont mix so how can i fix this? do i have to start all over with glue?
Oh wow. Thats quite the situation you got there. It would be best to start over however, you might be able to save this. I would try resining the inside then fiberglassing it. then pull the tape off unless you taped the inside then your in trouble. Dont hold me to this though, there is still a chance the tape will come undone.
It would be best to wait for an answer to your post in the Help!-thread before posting it again.
The problem is that polyester resin contains styrene, which can dissolve certain tapes (or the adhesive on them). You can use epoxy instead, that should work. Keep in mind that the safety requirements are slightly different, though.
what type of epoxy should i use?
Nah, your probly screwed.
Try getting some cheap white glue, and just pull one piece of tap at a time and glue that spot. That might be your only option.
yeah my friend had the same idea. just peel the tape off piece by piece. probably be easier to just restart and invest in a hot glue gun even tho im not a fan of glue

Hot glue isn't expensive at all. A gun costs $5 and a bag of 50 sticks is, like, $1. 2-3 bags for a whole suit, you're looking at $7 for glue that won't melt under resining.
You could paper mache it. It might not be the way you wanted to do it but, atleast you can save all your hard work.
Nah, your probly screwed.
