Anyone have any tricks to preventing epoxy from beading and streaking when the initial coat is brushed into a waxed mold.
I have found that thinning with alcohol works but as discussed on a previous thread that practice comprimises the resin qualities. Would heating the resin help? Funny that the thinner its consistency the less it beads....one would expect the opposite. This may be due to the alcohol reacting with the wax more than viscosity.


Anyone have and solve this problem.


ps. I know I can go back and brush it again later to even it out but I hate to do that once its laid out.
