Rich,
The fellow at Evercoat did not have a temperature for the epoxy. He would
only say that it was much greater than that for the polyester resin.
Assuming I received the correct information, I think the prior success's
with the polyester were because the temps were/are in fact below 150 F or
because the temp only exceeds 150 F for short periods. The fellow did say
the 150 F does have to be "sustanied" to cause degredation.
