Here is what I do. I seem to get a large amount of junk mail. Most of it has a pre-paid postage of some sort. I just mix up my glue on one of the enclosed documents. Then when I'm done I put the document back inside the ( included) pre-paid envolope and send it back to whoever. It saves me space in my trash can and maybe.just maybe it will get my name removed form someone's mailing list.
But if that happens then I use paper plates.


I use old printed circuit board for epoxy but a note on the junk mail...

When you send back those prepaid envelopes, don't forget to include some extras like I do-old can labels or clean crushed cans, other junk mail, any non-perishable garbage that will fit in their envelope. They get charged by the weight of the envelope so make it heavy and help cut your trash bill.

Status: offline 		I haven't heard anyone mention this method, so I thought I'd throw it out there. I cut an empty beer can in half, rinse and dry it out and then mix epoxy in it. When the epoxy cures, I just mix more on top of the hardened stuff. Every now and then when I have mixed too much, I'll throw my used #11 blades in the left over epoxy. Safer to disposs of that way.

If I have to mix a second batch before the first cures enough to mix on top of, I'll just get another beer can. (No, you can't typically find beer cans at your local hobby shop!)

Status: offline 		Oly, I have tried your method and it works fine till the next day when you inspect the glue up job. There is sometime epoxy all over the fuse and the wrok table, even some on the ole bluejeans, go figure. I think it has something to do with getting the beer cans empt. Next time I think I will try mixing the epoxy on the botton of the can before emptying it. It could make for a straighter airplane too.
