mixing epoxy

[Richard DeCiero]

Hello,
Here is a minor tip that may help others. This is handy when you
need to install a small quantity of rivets and don't want to waste a lot
of epoxy. Get yourself a set of measuring spoons that are used in the
kitchen. I confess that I simply took the set that I noticed my wife had
not used for a while. It has spoons from 1/8 teaspoon up to 1 tablespoon
and works great for those small quantity jobs.
Happy holidays to all,
Rick D.

Hi

I agree. I did all my epoxy measuring with cheap plastic & stainless
measuring spoons. The stainless ones stand up longer & are easier to wipe
clean which you will want to do after measuring.

hi Rick for mixing epoxy I use glue syringes. You can suck the epoxy right
out of the can and then shoot out as much as you need with no clean-up. I
also use glue cups that are calibrated on the sides to get the right
ratios. I get this stuff and more from
Lee valley tools. they sell very high end woodworking tools but they have
lots of other stuff some of which is almost reasonably priced. Their
catalog makes for great reading too.
