I call it impact resin, because that is what I was told to call it. If you
use epoxy resin to repair sail boats, I guess that is the same stuff. I get
my supply from a company called Cope Plastic in St. Louis. I believe they
have plants in other parts of the country.  It is a clear liquid, which is
activated by just a drop or 2 of kicker. (one drop per 2 oz.).
