In Response To: Epoxy: heat box (warren williamson)

I place the resin and hardener on a heating pad.
It takes considerable time to heat up a full can, but the heat is at the bottom and so is the pump pickup.

It does thin out the epoxy and makes it easier to spread, even in a cold shop, and on a cold boat.
But if it sits in the mixing bowl for long it just cools off, again.
