Last night I made a fiberglass decklid spoiler using my cardboard template as the model. Polyester resin. Dried flat over night. At 7am it was flat. At 2pm when I got home it was warped in the sun. I am really frustrated with this constant warping of every material I attempt to use. I am reading that a heat gun can render it somewhat pliable to flatten again, but I am pessimistic.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
