: I was using West System in 82 degree weather. But wait- not sure it
: was actually Saran Wrap. May have been an off-brand. I use the
: term like Kleenex or Band-Aid. The name brand has become the
: descriptive term. If it's a clear clingy film used for covering
: leftovers I call it Saran Wrap.

: I have some new Name-brand Saran Wrap that is different from the
: old stuff. It doesn't stick nearly as well to itself or to other
: stuff. I may do a test with some epoxy.

Well one thing that does work is window insulation shrink film, while not quite as inexpensive it does have the advantage of shrinking with heat. It's mylar, makes a good epoxy release film.
