So...totally necro-ing this thread, but I'm glad the new forum offers better searchability than the old one! Aside from extending the utility of epoxy (because too much was mixed), has anyone tried to use this as a way of getting epoxy into particularly difficult areas? I need to put a bead on the aft side of the forward CR of a build I'm working on; I thought of dribbling thickened (but not thick) epoxy into a fin slot, seating the MMT home, and rotating on a rotisserie over night, but that would put a ton of epoxy on the MMT- and if I thicken it too much, I won't get a good bead...too little, and it will flow out. If, however, I build a tape dam around the outer diameter of the CR, leaving a few mm clearance, I could lay a bead of thickened epoxy down, freeze it, remove the dam, and then seat it home, allowing the thickened and properly located bead to melt, flow and cure...
I ask because I first saw mention of this on a boat building forum, but there, like here, the question was mostly, "I made too much, can I trust it?" and the answer seems to be "yes", so why not put this property of time-delay to our advantage? Any reason not to?
