: I mix my epoxy using several of the suggestions mentions. I pre heat using a
: heat lamp but this will kick off the epoxy faster so be careful. I use
: scrap wood strips left over from building as Bill does. I mix about a
: minute if the mixture is not a supper large batch and scrape the bottom
: and sides and stir rather then whip. And even though I have pumps I mix in
: plastic cups on a gram scale for better accuracy for big and small
: batches.

I keep wishing I could justify the West Epoxy gear pump. Have seen it in use, very nice, also very expensive. With it you can very accurately dispense any quantity you desire, up to 5 gallons at a time.
