: Hello All,

: I am doing some small detail work and do not have a good way of mixing really
: small amounts. I am wasting good epoxy as a result. I recall seeing some
: posts about freezing epoxy after it is mixed. Can anyone lend me the
: benefit of their experience with this? After I mix a batch and pour out a
: little to use can I just pop the remainder into the freezer? How long does
: it take to thaw? I suppose if you do not time the thaw just right you may
: end up with another expensive paperweight after all?

: Any thoughts appreciated.

Go to the local drug store and pick up some pic-nik mustard and ketsup bottles with the long pointed tips. Also, pick up some baby ( child ) Oral syringes that are measured in teaspoons. If you compare the ends of each, you will find a spot on the condiment bottles where you can cut the tip down and insert the syringe tip into. Then, just put resin in one bottle, hardener in the other and keep the syringe stuffed down into the tip until you need it. Turn the bottle upside down, pull back on the syringe plunger and fill your syringe with whatever amount you need. I use small glass candle holders to squirt the mixture into. The color of the resin and hardener will help to keep the syringes in the right bottles. I wish I had a picture, but when Bill Price sees this post, he has a picture on his site that he will, no doubt, post for you to see. Thanks Bill

You can mix down to a 1/2 teaspoon or use multiple pumps to make slightly bigger mixtures. It works great!!!
