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.

Also,  is it OK to use Monster Clay ( sulphur free ),  as a gap 'filler', or is it necessary to use Plasticine?
A better explanation of what I'm doing ( bottom of page ) > Quad Headlight thread

Thanks

Epoxy really shouldn't react to anything except polyurethane at elevated temperatures, and possibly moisture if there's enough of it. Monster Clay being oil based means it is fine, and plasticine should be ok as well. Softening or the clay shouldn't be too big a drama either, realistically the yellow filleting wax that EC sell will also soften with body temperature but it isn't until it gets up to about 70-80 degrees that it actually softens enough to cause problems and in most cases by this time the resin has gelled anyway.

All of that said, I would use plasticine before I used monster clay.
