I too, gave up on the epoxy pumps that Pygmy sent with the Arctic Tern kit--I don't know if they are System 3 pumps, but the epoxy is System 3. The epoxy has been excellent, but the pumps were not even close to being accurate. I've been using a plastic cup method recommended by someone on the forum--it has worked very, very well, even if it does add a couple minutes a day to your work.

: By the time I do the varnishing, maybe the bug season will have ended (hope,
: hope).
: OK, it sounds like if I don't keep the ovenight temp at 60 or higher, the
: epoxy takes longer to cure. Am I correct in assuming that all I need to do
: then is allow more time for the curing before I proceed to the next step?
: Someone told me that he had trouble with the epoxy not curing in his
: living room, but he thought it was due to the high humidity (Seattle) more
: than the cool temperature. I think he also said he didn't like the pump
: and didn't use it the 2nd time around.
: The resin kit is from System 3.
