A while back someone mentioned that you could thin epoxy with acetone.
I need to pour some into some cracks.I'm using System 3 epoxy. Thanks,
Jim

I would suggest you try heating the epoxy. Its viscosity
is very temperature dependent. Be careful not to overheat
the epoxy, no smoke! :-)

Use a heat gun and heat up the area you are treating. Air
in the cracks will expand and bubble up through the epoxy
and the when things cool the epoxy will be sucked into
the cracks.
