``POSTCARDS``, a sculpture honoring the 267 Staten Islanders who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, opened in Staten Island across Upper NY Bay from where the twin towers of the World Trade Center stood. The contractor, New England Boatworks, was challenged to build a structure that could handle both the contours if the design & the winds of the waterfront site. It settled on a composite made with Co. s Hydrex 100-HF vinyl ester resin, which is especially designed for the vacuum infusion molding process used to build the sculpture
