Overhead view. Has a few small speckles that I will wet sand out, and a few sags in the clear. Will see how those turn out when dry. They seemed to be flowing out real good.

Second Skin makes a few products that you may want to look at for your heat problem. Motor Mat, Heat Wave, Thermal Block, etc.
