John,

You might like to go to the Gougeon brothers site and read their Using WEST SYSTEM Epoxy section. These guys are the fathers of wood/epoxy construction. They have a very good understanding of the technical aspects of epoxy, and do an excellent job of communicatiing the essentials of epoxy use. Their Problem Solver Guide even answers George's question about the milky appearance of some cured resins.
