Do & Don't With Epoxies
Do this when mixing and installing epoxy:
- Only mix the amount of epoxy that you can use in 1/2 the pot-life.
Materials will start to thicken at this point and are more difficult to work
with.
- Large batches will set up faster than smaller batches. Start by mixing
small batches and then increase your batch size slowly, to insure that you do
not loose your mix.
- Mix all epoxy thoroughly at least three minutes
- Take time to measure all epoxy accurately
- Use clean buckets for measuring epoxy in
- Use two separate clean buckets one for A resin and one for B resin
- Always mix B Resin into A Resin
- Remember warmer epoxies set much faster then cooler epoxies, so start by
making small batches.
- Wear rubber gloves when using Epoxies
- Wear eye protection when using Epoxies
- Scrape all the Resin out of both A & B containers
- Dispose of Epoxy waste properly
- Read all labels before beginning the job
- Do separate your A resin from your B resin when your order comes in and
make sure that everything you ordered has been delivered before starting
your job
