Yep. As long as it is not acting as a structural support then it will be fine for sealing a leak that you cant find. I did the same with the batttery tray in my old car.

Different brands take differing times to go off, which ever one you buy will have the time written on it.

It usually goes off after about a few minutes. It depends how much activator you use. I get loads of the stuff from a roofing firm cos its cheaper and i use loads of it on my motorbike fairings.

Just put about as much resin as you think your gonna need and then add just a dribble of activator. Then mix and get it wapped on b4 it sets! :lol:
