: Thanks, Rob! I was slower than usual in using the epoxy so it
: stayed in the cup longer. Normally, if I make a large batch, I
: dump it all immediately and use a squeegee to spread it...I
: didn't do that this time. This time I dribbled it slowly and
: spread it immediately thus allowing the exothermic reaction to
: undo my intentions. Next time I move a little faster.

You are welcome.

Sometimes we get so used to doing things in a certain way, with good reason, we forget exactly
why we're doing it that way.

Not long ago, I was coating the wooden coaming on one of my decked canoes, brushing epoxy out
of a paper cup, using a 2" foam brush. After doing that I poured the rest of the resin into a roller tray
and started applying a fill coat to the deck with a roller. I began wondering why the resin was so
sticky as the roller became harder and harder to roll.

"D'oh!" Homer strikes again!

Oh, yes, now I remember why I shouldn't do that! Cuse it gets hot fast in a cup!
