I've got a kg of EL80 and I've been having a little play with some offcuts of cloth to see how it cures.  One thing I did notice is that its fairly viscous.  Is it OK to warm it a touch to thin it down a bit?

Would a review of my test pieces be of use?  If so I'd appreciate a few pointers of what people woould like to see.

I thought I'd update this with a little 'how its holding up' post.

I've dragged the airdam over several sleeping policemen, up and down car park ramps etc and I can report that it has held up really well.  It just flexes (as you'd expect) but there is no real marks from the abrasions, not a sausage!  It has suffered from one fairly nasty stone chip which did leave some damage into the carbon.  IMO a rigid laminate wouldn't have been damaged to the same extent but its just a feeling I have rather than a quantifyable.   My overall verdict is that its awesome for low speed bending and abrasive resistance but it does suffer in high speed point impacts a little more.  Overall I'm pleased with it.
