Question
Best product to use.  Heat resistant and flexible. What to apply on top surface and what to use underneath. (MAT, cloth, etc.)  Oval track sportsman class.

Answer
I prefer matting for this type of use and I have also had good luck by cutting the matt into 1 in. pieces and mixing it into Vette panel adhesive.Matting is more for structural repairs {underneath} where cloth is more for the cosmedics {visible areas},it will help hold the cracks together and still be able to be finished nicely.As far as brands of resins,pretty much any brand is O.K.
