Gotta work fast and olny mix up a >little at a time. What's the bet this stuff is an epoxy? I have used epoxy laminating resins to make fiberglass casts of fossil whales. Good stuff, much nicer than the much more common polyester, but... it does tend to soften with heat. Strong sunlight may do this. A cast, when warmed-up, is somewhat flexible... and will not spring back to shape when bent. But in a seam this is hardly going to be a problem. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
