In Response To: Epoxy: Problems with West Systems (John Faas)

I only use System Three. For small batches I use plastic tea spoons as disposable measuring devices, I have also used the little graduated cups that are used in hospitals. And for larger batches I use a plastic cup inside a pre-marked plastic cup. I mix my epoxy for the length of on song on the radio. I have not had any problems.

I hope this helps.

PS Double check the West hardeners to make sure you are using the correct one for clear coating. I had experience with one (I forget which one ) that resulted in the epoxy turning cloudy
