Best casting resin for exposure to low temperatures

Hi,
I'm looking to use casting resin in a project which (when cured) will be exposed to nordic winter temperatures (around -20oC and below). I have heard that some casting resins will become brittle at low temperatures. Could you tell me which would be the best one for these conditions? 

For info: The volume of resin to be casted is to fill a wooden trench approximately 25mm wide, 10mm deep and 1600mm long.

Thanks very much

Is this for exterior use or inside?  If it is for exterior use, we would not consider the GlassCast range as they are not designed for permanent outdoor use.

Yes - it will be for exterior use.
