all the "epoxys" here for model building etc. don't need an autoclave.
They are calles epoxy, and there is also stuff called polyester resin, 
which i thought is sort of older eqivalent. No idea if they are all labeled 
wrong.

I have seen "hot coating tanks" for coating pcbs with acrylic.
maybe that can be used for high resistance.
the tanks somehow melt acrylic plastic but i have no futher information on 
that.
