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

ok, thanks.
but also, your old epoxy has a high viscosity, I kind of like that,
is that epoxy also suitable?
or would you recommend a
n additive in the EL2 instead?

The Coating resin as we now call it, is perfectly fine for structural parts, it still features really good mechanical properties jst not as high as those of the EL or IN resins.

ok, EL seems a bit better, but also my question about additive for preferred viscosity?
