Including that. Put a mass of quick-cure epoxy in a plastic cup sometime.
Make sure it's on a durable surface and well-ventilated. Then stand back! 

 

When used to bed bridge pins, however, the heat generated by the curing
epoxy is dissipated into the wood and pins. You'll not measure the
temperature rise with any tools we're likely to own.

Am I to assume we're talking about added heat over and above what the epoxy
produces all on it's own?

 

I like the West system.  It doesn't get any easier than that for me. :-)

Heat will also weaken epoxy. Use a thin coating epoxy such as that made by

Heat will thin epoxy, so that it penetrates.

Hello list,
I've been reading with great interest about the recent articles in the
Journal about treating  bridges with thin epoxy. I am trying to imagine an
epoxy that's thin enough to be put on the bridge cap without it adding
material. Is there a very thin viscosity epoxy on the market that's being
used for this, or the possibility of thinning epoxy with lacquer thinner or
some other solvent? 
Thanks for any input.
