Thanks. it ready to use, after u pop up the seal, no heat is needed, but how the chemical reaction to create any new substance , or heat in this case between them i never encounter it.

Like for example, if your spray it'll melt the polystyrene. The polystyrene reacts to the paint once it's sprayed on it, not the heat.

The polystyrene reacts to the paint once it's sprayed on it, not the heat. u know paint have butane by it self, and as we always add kerosene or paraffin(as u aldy put it) to make light color or save budget, it obviously. but that same silicone on windows, 24h exposed to harsh weather these days, i says, silicone + poly, it not melt the poly but create vibranium. oh! buy the smallest cheapest one silicone and see yrself, i cannot convince u anymore.

I noe there's a cooler box but I need to make it a shape to fit into the space. If that what you've experience then I'll have to use plastic bag into the container. Thanks.
