And don't thin it, use as is. Comes out slick as a baby's bottom.

This is similar to what I use from the LHS. it works excellent. you can also use regular 30 minute epoxy if you thin it with denatured alcohol or by heating it up with a heat gun as you brush it on.

I use 30-minute epoxy for fuelproofing. Use a heat gun to heat up the epoxy and thin it out to the consistency of water in order to brush it on the area you are fuelproofing.

I like to paint the firewall area with dope first, grey or white. Just gives it a nice finished look.

Someone told me to use fingernail polish; It worked well but my sister wasn't happy:D
