Hi all,
I'm currently working on a set of headlight covers.
What I'd need to know if anybody has any experience with this is, will 'EG60 Epoxy Tooling GelCoat' attack ( or even stick to ) PETG plastics ?
I've seen a couple of YouTube videos using similar products ( EC's and Mathiew Libert's ), and it looks as though they used it directly onto ABS plastics.

A better explanation of what I'm doing ( bottom of page ) >
Quad Headlight thread
Thanks
