: Most people use single part poly, Zar being the most common.

: Polyester resin is brittle once cured and has nearly zero stretch
: while nylon has a bunch, poor choice of a mixture of materials.

Thanks,
I'm perfectly happy to use single part polyurethane - most of the guides and instructions I've seen call for 2-part. Are there any special considerations for using one part that I should know about?
