epoxy polymer resin

In the past, I bought polymer resin to make the buildings, it was great. But I didn't have a record of what kind of polymer. Recently, I bought epoxy resin and I was disappointed because when the structure is placed outdoors under the heat of ~ 80F, it became softer. The structure collapsed because of that. I wonder if someone can recommend to me the polymer resin that can be used outdoors. Thanks

From now on, when I see epoxy resin I would assume it's not for outdoor. Probably, epoxy is a very reactive chemical and thus polymerization readily occurs at low temperatures. I am looking into EasyFlo resin. Most people use EasyFlo 60, which has a very quick pouring time, 2 minutes, unsuitable for working on large structures. I ordered EasyFlow 95 with 5 minutes of pouring time. Let's see how it works.
I attach herein the structure I made from epoxy resin. I may use it indoor.

Some progress with the Old State House building with EasyFlo resin. I just installed over 80 windows.

I need the G-scale dormer windows for my building. I wonder where to buy them.
