    Microwaving Epoxy Finish

    I've heard zapping epoxy finish prior to mixing aids in obtaining a more balanced mixture. Which part gets zapped, A or B or both?

    If you are talking about thread finish......the only time you woul NEED to warm it would be if bottles were cold or one part had some age on it and had begun to crystalize. Warming it above 75 degrees shortens pot life. It will be thinner if warmer but if that is what you are looking for then you could use one of the LITE formulas.

    you can zap both parts..10 - seconds max

    too warm & it will start setting too soon
    I never had a \"10\".....but, one night, I did five \"2\'s\"

    If you get it too TOO warm, you get a hideous, fast-bubbling,
    spray styrofoam effect, followed by researching microwave prices & features.

    I saw a friend of mine do it.
    Yeah, that's the tick-et.
