WOW! That's exciting, you guys must have looked "rockers" skimming blueboard! Was that a slow cure mix, or does your friend normally apply epoxy like Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairchild sword-fight? Previous advice has been to mix small batches, but I guess experience and confidence carried the day. Here's where the announcer says "These are professionals, don't try this at home" (Nolan might say "Your mileage may vary") {;)I might set up pre-measured quantities, to mix on the fly, but 24 ounces scares me. Did he use a wide, flat container, to keep the temperature down? TNX, Scotty
