If I were in midland I too would find the outlet store for the insulation boards or find someone who has access to the scrap...
I remember reading about your lack of temperature when you doing the layup.
Tomorrow is supposed to be 65 in Missouri. I am going to do some body work on the VW.

I used Dow Blue board foam (I am from Midland MI, home town of Dow) and the polyester only ate about 1/8" into the foam and then stuck to it hard. Here the big box home centers carry 3m brand "epoxy" (polyester) resin for about $35 a gallon.
