If you're going to need another dab in an hour or two, put the cup of mixed
resin in the fridge to retard he reaction.

Anyone know of a source or trick for mixing small 2cc to 10 cc) of
West System epoxy? Tired of wasting the stuff when I just need a dab.



In an old job we used to buy epoxy premixed & frozen in little syringes,
you may be able to do that.
The problem with putting an open cup into the fridge or freezer is you
MAY get condensation all over the surface of the epoxy when you take it
out. Water and epoxy do not make for a good joint.
