Here's a link to the various grades of resin; its a good primer that differentiates the various qualities of resins that make up marine and RV skins (so you understand the base resins towards repairing Filon:

The resin used to make Filon is the last one: 'Polyester resin'
Enjoy,

[On edit: the 1st link is not an academic site filled with crosslinking polymer chemistry, but is basic, and a jumping point to more complex info]

BTW:
Coats of epoxy resin is used in some cases to preserve the Filon for: "...many more seasons than it would otherwise last..."
I don't advocate doing this yourself, as epoxy resin application over an entire Filon-clad TC would be impossible to do outside a properly equiped facility.
