In Response To: Epoxy: Tired of expensive paperweights -Freezing epoxy? (Mike Mulligan)

Mike -
I use WEST system for R/C model sailboats, and Gougeon provided a great tip in one of their newsletters. Since the stuff I'm using is a 5:1 Pump ratio - simply draw a couple of circles - one being about 5 times the diameter of the other. Place under wax paper and drizzle in what you need to fill each circle.

Want more or less - take the drawing to photo copier and enarge or reduce as needed. Long mathematical explanation which I won't go in to here - but the thickness of the little puddles isn't enough to mess up the ratio/balance or hardener to resin.

If you don't have a clue - email me with your addresss and I'll mail you some!
