Yep -- I took some samples and did an experiment in the temp chamber I have at work for testing electronic circuit boards. This new resin (Silmar 249) should hold up far better to engine bay temperatures in Arizona. I should have taken a picture of the Kleer Koat epoxy sample at 80C -- it was about as flexible as a slice of cheese. Its too bad, that epoxy was by far the easiest to work with.

Some pictures of Jesses' next project

With a lot of resin and fiberglass that becomes this

Again, with a lot of resin and more fiberglass that becomes this

If it is not obvious, this new project is a water/meth reservoir in the spare tire well.
