Hi

Which epoxy should I buy use for this?

1:
A motorcycle seat-fuel tank monocoque?
It will not be the fuel tank itself, but it will be self-supporting without a subframe,
and thereby it must be able to handle some weight and not flex.
Are "
New Laminating Resin" and/or "original Epoxy Laminating Resin" to be considered
"construction resins" and do they have good enough mechanical properties for this? 

2:
Motorcycle throttle body, hot environment, it will support/house bearings and must have
some chemical resistance.
Very High Temperature Epoxy Resin?

3,
Motorcycle fairings, should be a bit flexible.

THX

Oh, OK, I see. Yes, I guess there are circumstances where a laminating resin would benefit from some thixotropic property (such as laminating upside-down) but they are rare because that gravity defying thixotropic property will be at the expense of fibre wetting. Let me know how you get on.
