Thanks, John, as you described it is what I was thinking. I was hoping the water wouldn't interfere in the hardening process but it looks like it will. The main idea is to break up the resin into small globules and then get them to react out to form a nice manageable granular pump-able solid. I can break it up with methanol quite nicely, it will have to be neat instead of 50% aqueous solution. The di-amine won't be a problem as it isn't my nickle to spend.
