Recently some of you have been boasting the resin SL 5220 about its
speed and how much easier it makes part cleanup. It made me want to
jump on the band wagon and change resins. Yesterday I pulled up the
spec sheet and noticed the resin was lacking in a few areas including
elongation at break 8.3% compared to 7-19% and glass defection temp as
low as 115 F. Have these numbers been a issue yet in breaking parts
during sanding during cleanup, snap fits, and shipping? I also have
not seen or heard anything about the moisture resistance of the SL
5220. Can anyone put some light on these issues for me?

Thanks
