Thanks for pointing this out, Will; I will try it. Always good to have more options in the epoxy world. I am breathing System Three Clear Coat fumes at the moment.... > ...What I really like about it is that it is a very convenient way to use the epoxy.....There is far less waste, as we typically have to pump out more than we will use with the pump system.... I just want to make sure that all list participant epoxy addicts know or remember that West Systems epoxies (and many others) can be mixed in any quantity by weight. With a tenth of a gram scale (as is common in action work), I feel confident in being able to achieve the proper ratio (5:1 for the most commonly used West Systems products) in batches as small as 12 grams for critical applications, or 6 grams for less critical applications (I've gone to as far as three grams, but that's pushing it). Six grams is about the weight of a quarter, so it's just a little puddle of epoxy with no need to waste any. With a little practice, it's very easy to coax one drop at a time from the pumps. I know I learned that on this list some time ago - thanks to whoever posted it in the past. Joe DeFazio Pittsburgh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
