Default Hey,.. you can freeze epoxy!

Yes, it's true!
Ever mix up that $100 a gallon sucker syrup and end up with extra in
the bottom of your plastic milk jug? Just for grins and because I'm
stubborn and cheap I stuck it in the freezer, ate lunch, went to town,
drove home, took a nap then pulled it out in the interests of science.
Rock solid. 10 minutes later, soft- roughly the same stage it was at-
only 3 hours later. It seems to have adhered and set up normally. This
was a deep freeze, not my refrigerator icebox. Also, I had used
sawdust for filler if that makes a difference. Ok, the spell check is
complete- I had 6 errers. Good luck, men.

the more common use is to 'save' you epoxy paint brush or roller so that
you can use it the next day for another coat of epoxy on you boat, etc.
Just squeeze most of the epoxy from the brush (maybe a quick sloppy
solvent rinse) then into a plastic bag and into the freezer. Brush will
be reusable for a day or two or so.
