"That's an old trick."
What's the other trick if the epoxy resin has been on the shelf too long, may have frozen and shows various sizes of lumps. Some people will simply dispose of it. Other people I was told will warm up the resin and use it as new. Maybe someone can tell us how to warm up the resin and to what temperature?.

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. That's an old trick. Sometimes, the epoxy will still be usable a day or so later but it won't prevent it from curing indefinitely. |
