Funny replies, I got a good chuckle out of those...I've atomized a few kits myself[sm=drowning.gif] For an experiment take some spaghetti noodles and divide into two pans of boiling water. Break one half of the noodles into little pieces,boil the noodles, drain the pans and let sit till dry. See which one makes the harder cake to break apart. Plastics are like that. For instance in a polycarbonate if the molecule were the size of a spaghetti noodle, the molecules would be approximately a mile long.. The more they re-entangle the more they lend each other support ...when processing thermo plastics one must take care not too create too much alignment in the molecules. One technique used is to use a rapid injection speed to line up the molecules and lower the viscosity due to the non-newtonian behavior then slow the injection speed before final fill and pack stages. Five minute epoxy is like the small noodles you made, thirty minute epoxy is more analogous to the unbroken noodles.
