I read about this in a recent magazine; I think it was in Hot Rod. The article gave the product good reviews

We are using it also, Just don't leave it out in light to long. Cool stuff for small parts, Very pricey to waste. The UV cure is nice tho.

What happens if it's left in the light too long?

No pics yet. Still in process of fabbing the part.

Probably should have started with something a little smaller.

Memory wire is overrated and too small to be effective.
Amazing how fast it cures though. Even in cloudy weather it cures in about 5 minutes.

Here is the link on the article from Hot Rod:

Sorry it so long to see this....It is UV cured and fast also. Direct sun makes it dry quick

No pics! Probably won't be any. Was trying to build a close out panel for the "bird". Way in over my head. I suggest to start out building something small, and work your way up. Will try again. Not hyperfiber's fault, just lacking in fabrication skills. Will definately use it again. Just need to work with it more on a smaller scale.
