Hi Dave,
Polyester resin will stick to polyester cloth, at least it sticks to nomex, cotton, nylon (to a degree) or any other woven material for clothing. :) But it will not be as flexible as epoxy.
It'll likely stick a bit to the frame but not as tenacious as epoxy, I've peeled poly resin glass off timber surfaces before and chipped drops of it off without much difficulty.
