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.
