Add your powder to a small amount of mixed epoxy, mix into a paste, add more epoxy to thin the paste, and so on until your mixture is ready to add to the epoxy batch.

: Hi All,
: Just tried to mix some of the boron nitride (white carbon) powder
: in a couple different epoxy batches from 10%-20% by weight with
: West Systems and could not get a good mix. Got little bumps of
: unmixed powder in spite of 2 min mix with a stir stick for the
: epoxy and another 2 min. after adding the boron nitride- at room
: temp. I think it was Paul that suggested the product and 15% mix
: ratios. Anyone got any tips on how to get the stuff to emulsify
: better? Have enough to do a second coat and expect I'll get the
: colour to be more consistant- little streaky at the moment. I
: will have to sand open the little powdery bumps before applying
: the second coat but sure don't want to have to do that after the
: final coat. Keep up the contributions everyone. I check this
: site even when I'm not building. I like reading everyone's
: oppinions bout stuff- and builders from other countries...
: Paddlers everywhere seem to have a pretty similar take on
: things...
