Default 2 Different brands of Resin, Are they compatible?

I have a Cargroom Fiberglass Resin and I have Bondo all purpose fiberglass resin. I am making a subwoofer enclosure and i have the speaker ring mounted allready. I am about to stretch the fleece over the speaker ring and all then fiberglass-resin that tonight. for the first part of the box, i used Cargroom Fiberglass resin and i am wondering for the fleece and the rest of the box if the Bondo All-Purpose fiberglass resin will be compatible with the first part of the box. I checked the data sheet and they both have the same amount of styrene in it (Both specs for both brands say 40%-50% on their chemical composition chart).

Any help would be appreciated.

I wouldn't mix them but you can use one of them, let it cure then use the other. If they are both polyester resins this should work fine

alright, yeah i wouldnt mix them or anything. they are both polyester resin. I have half of the box allready made with the Cargroom brand. I bought the bondo brand at home depot so i can finish the projecct tonight. THe part that i have with the cargroom brand is allready cured(sitting for a few days) so all i have to do is stretch the fleece over the rest of the box and put resin on that to finish it(of course ill fiberglass it also).

SO this should work out alright?
