Mixing tip I saw some where ,, works good .. I don't know what you guys mix in .. I use a new plastic drink cup . I cut them, down shorter so they are easier to work out of .. I mix with a platic throw away knife ,. anyways .. This is the tip ,,, after you have think you have mixed real good Pour your epoxy in another cup and mix again..So you know you don't have any unmixed stuff around the edges... Measuring ,, I been using metal baking spoons,, I have 2 sets one for hardner,, one set for resin,, Systems 3 is a 2-1 mix,,unlike etex that is 1-1 mixing .. I'm talking about sys 3 mirror coat,,, using the spoons I noticed the resin is so thick you can acually fill the spoon higher than the edges,,do this twice for 2-1 mix and your mix is way off .. too much resin not enough hardener ,, hello sticky plugs .. I wouldn't go to crazy with the heat unless your coating just one plug .. the stuff will kick faster in the heat .. I think Mac's finish is so nice partly because he has that big old steamy boiler in his basement .. I have fha ,, very dry ..
