Edge 513 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I wish my "Lawn ornament" Was as far along as mr. edge13"s is Yes I mix my epoxy until it looks good. I am using ez 84 so it is really ez to see when it is done. If I took 5 minutes for every cup I made My last 8 hour spar cap layup would have taken 12 hours ez. Ps. Get your mind off body parts and get back in the shop and build the lawn ornament. STeve:D Roger that. [salute] Quote Self confessed Wingnut.

Apparently 5 minute epoxy cure in five minutes. . . once your past waiting for your first first part to cure (A watched pot ...) Rick You might want to read the bottle again. I'm pretty sure that the WORKING time is 5 minutes, and that full cure is quite a bit beyond that. 20 minute epoxy has a working time of about 20 minutes, but doesn't reach full cure for hours.

Five minutes, it's gum stage. 5 minute set, 15 minutes to handle, 1 hour to fully cure (though I doubt this, just because) On topic: I don't stir for 5 minutes Rick Quote Rick Hall; MK-IV plans #1477; cozy.zggtr.org Build status: 1-7, bits of 8-9, 10, 14 done!

TMann Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 As a side note: Dave R (Berkut) also incorprates superglue with accelerant for those 5-min. epoxy operations. I never saw that one before but that's a tip on his video.
