Polystyrene will melt right away, but polyurethane works like a champ. More expensive, but it saves a step and some work on your part.

These are 2 honda civics.
This 1 is an 88 civic and the headlights are very close
This is an 87 Civic and the lights are way off
I'm thinking the 88 civic lights.
DE 66 IS COMING........
Believe and succeed

| Just a thought, polystyrene foam ( Amofoam- from home depot works if you shellac it after you initially sand and form it to the shape desired, then you apply a coat of Bondo and finish the part off. I believe after that if you want to make a plug or copy the shape with fiberglass ,the polystyrene foam which is covered with shellac and bondo will not melt.But you have to go with shellac/bondo/ then fiberglass. The shellac helps the bondo bond to the foam and also creates a barrier of protection.This is the way I Fabricated alot of parts,ex: Side skirts and running boards for an 87 5.0 stang.

| I've never tried the shellac but I have used Kilz paint. It's a stain barrier primer. I'll try the shellac next time.
