It's in my trash can right now, that stick-em stuff. I thought someone on here might just know what it is, I do not, nor does that rate high on my need to do list, finding out exactly what it is. I don't have need for it, right now, though when I do find out, I will buy some to put in my 'fix-it' box. In the mean time, I am down to 150 grit, sanding all those parts of motorcycle and I have about two more grits to go before I can spray.....What a pain, all these little radiuses, scallops, NACA ducts, fastener holes, cracks and missing pieces. Ugg. Almost 3 full days of sanding....but the alternative is to spend more on new plastic than I actually spent on the V-4 motorcycle....
