Does anyone know of a resin with zero shrinkage?

Never have a problem with Delta Resin. It is important that the chip is 100% dry before you start the repair. I feel it is not so much resin shrinkage as incorrect filling etc. that causes a repair to reappear. But I am sure someone will disagree with me, lets make a large post of this it is a very important subject. Lets have the thoughts of all you people.

This sort of topic is loaded for debate which leads me to another topic I feel would definately answer your question and has significant bearing on resin selection. "RESIN TECHNICAL SPECS" not to be confused with the MSDS. You will find your answers there. I am not going to elaborate on this but there have been posts about this that got pretty hot in debate. I feel it is important to know these kind of answers. If you feel the same way then I suggest you call your supplier for the answers and the SPEC SHEETS to see for yourself. Keep in mind lab results and real world results may differ but it is a damn good place to start. Oh, to answer your question, most all resins that we were able to aquire the SPEC SHEETS for did have shrinkage.
