In Response To: Epoxy: Mixing more batches in same container (Wade)

: When mixing up small batches of expoxy, do you need to go to a clean
: container when mixing a new batch?

Not really; only if the previous one starts to kick.

: Does the unhardened epoxy left over
: from the previous mix cause an acceleration of the gelling of the new mix?

Maybe, but not noticeably so. If you notice it, it's enough to worry about...probably won't ever happen unless your shop is over 75ºF.
