: Talking from a quite different perspective/experience concerning
: epoxy resins,, IsoPropilic Alcohool is the solvent of choice for
: epoxies if not otherwise specified by the manufacturer. If so,
: cleanse with IPA. Another matter would be that you will get
: chemical bond only within the time window indicated by the epoxy
: manufacturer/ seller. I have this at 6-9 hours. Going beyond
: this time you will only get physical bond which is prone to fail
: under certain circumstances, where from, the need to polish and
: have no shiny spots.
: Hope these consids will help a bit.
: Being not a native english speaker, I hope I'm not confusing you
: further with my post :)

- no worries, it was perfectly clear - except that IPA is my favorite beer!
