Jeff,
You will find that the resin will soften very rapidly up to about 100
degrees centigrade where it will have virtually no strength. You could
either mould something around the outside of the box to support it or you
could use a low temperature potting compound. We use this to pot SL samples
for microscopy. They usually generate a temperature of about 50 degrees.
