Morning Jim-
     
     I have used both hot and cold set resins for microsectioning without 
     problems but would recommend that you use a cold set resin. If the 
     resin gives off heat (exotherms) as it cures you have the possibility 
     of changing something in the mount that may be of interest (e.g. 
     solder structure). Many of the cold set resins also have better sample 
     edge retention which makes the metallographers much happier when they 
     don't cross contaminate their polishing wheels.

Does anyone have any comments relating to the advantages/disadvantages of 
mounting microsections in hot or cold set resins
