RE: Epoxy
This is a tip I want to pass on to all of you kind folks who responded to my post. I always eyeball my mix. I have found that using a plastic sandwich bag is a good way to mix epoxy. I squirt equal amounts into one corner of the bag ( I usually cut off the zip lock strip for easier handleing). It's easy to visually see if you have fairly equal puddles of A & B. I twist up the corner of the baggie and knead the mix between my thumb and forefinger until I feel it getting warm. Cut off a very small piece of the corner of the bag and apply the epoxy as though it were frosting comeing out of a baker's bag. You can draw a very neat bead. Additionally, you can set the bag aside and periodically check the residue in the bag for proper cure. Especially handy if you have a "blind" epoxy application and can't get back to it to check for set-up. I haven't tried it for very large applications but they make very large freezer bags nowadays. Don't use really cheap sandwich bags, I've had them burst brfore.
Works for me.
Thanks to everyone and happy holidays!
