Adjustable Epoxy Pot Life
Posted by: Tom Kirkman (Moderator)

The Volume 19 #5 issue of RodMaker is at the printer now. I think it's an especially good issue and one article will be of particular interest to those who have reported problems working with epoxy in hot weather situations. There is a means to manually adjust the pot life of any epoxy to suit the user, which will be of great benefit to those working in non-climate controlled shops either in very cold or very hot weather. It will not change the characteristics of the epoxy in any way. Details in the new issue which mails the first of October.

Tom,
Does it include procedures other than working faster / more efficiently once the epoxy is mixed?
