Dear Bill,
   That was the most frustrating part about polyester resins, the plasticizers 
would leave the final product with time causing the part to become brittle.  
The newer resins seem to be much better.  The other thing was the variable 
shrinkage.  We used to have to match up the right and left hand passenger 
sides.  Sometimes one could be 1/4" different in length.
