Hey guys I've been struggling with the epoxy finishing. I'm using e-tex lite and use childrens medicine syringes to measure accurate parts of each part. I also read about adding 10 drops or so of acetone which I tried yesterday. I've built a turner that turns at 6 rpm and heats to 90-95 degrees. The trouble I've been having is dimpling and a bumpy finish. When I apply the epoxy it seems to be pretty thick and drags a bit. Should I add more acetone to thin it out a bit? I've tried putting both bottles in warm water for 10 minutes before mixing and spin the plugs in the turner for 20 minutes to warm them up. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Mark
