: 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.

Bill when I worked in the pattern shop of Fisher Body/General Motors they had what I think were gear pumps that was attached to two 55 gallons barrels of epoxy and hardner, and you cranked out as much epoxy and hardner as you wanted at the same time. I never saw an epoxy problem. We used a laminating mix that also doubled as a surface coat by adding thickener in it.
