Ha, lively post.
Well, it's actually cured by UV - which seems to have a variety of benefits, such as faster curing time, less VOC emissions like the liquids. Yet, I don't believe itis designed for the sun, but even higher temperatures than what it can produce. It must be resilient if it can handle the kind of heat that makes a hot black hood in the arizona sun seem lukewarm. I don't know the temperatures it's designed for, but I'd guess that it's still not disclosed to the public. I'd love more info on it.
Overall though, it's not "still flowing" necessarily, it must be heated or exposed to a certain level of UV. I'm honestly not surprised with this technology at all, are you familiar with those new self-healing metals, memory metals that can be bent and spring right back to their exact original position?

They're used in eyeglass frames already.
