When mixing this product, make sure to use a round cup & mix thoroughly scraping all sides and bottom of mixing container. Improperly mixed epoxy can create a major headache. Remember that thermoset plastics are temperature sensitive. Cold weather slows the cure process down, whereas heat speeds curing up. Always try to mix chemicals at room temperature. For best results, try pouring epoxy into hardener. Pour along the side of the container to help alleviate air entrapment. Mix for at least 3-5 minutes in a in a round motion until chemical are clear and free of striations. Allow the mixed components to stand in your mixed cup for at least 5 minutes. This allows for bubbles to rise to the surface. Small castings and potting units may take longer to cure than larger items. This chemical needs to be stored in a dry, safe, temperature controlled environment. Always keep the lids tightly sealed when not in use. Remember, oxygen and moisture oxidize and can rapidly degrade the epoxy and hardener. Moisture is also a potential issue. Always keep the bottles sealed when not in use.
