In the R/C hobby, we use epoxy for strength, as a chemical barrier, or both. Since thinners compromise epoxy's ability to perform either role, after reading this, and the studies they did to come to the above conclusion, for me it was a no-brainer to stop thinning epoxy with solvents.
I think the take away is the above statement from Piper_Chuck. I will keep this in mind.
Also,
What do you guys use to mix epoxy on, as the container becomes like an old lava field after it hardens? Also which is a better way to remove hardened CA, glue, epoxies etc once they are in any object? Do u use drug store alcohol or acetone? Or does this depend on WHERE the stuff has to be removed?
Thanks...And this seems like a useful thread for all!!
