Ken,
That is very re-assuring that you are using Mogas with ethanol and your tanks are holding up.
Are you positive on the Dow 511-45?
I could not locate any reference to this on the web.
Aircraft Spruce carries a Dow Derakane 411-350 PA Vinyl Ester Resin.
Could this be what you used?
Thanks for your help.
