Epoxy application

[bigone5500]

I've thought about this many times but haven't ever posted about it...

If I mix epoxy in about the same ratio, then apply the epoxy and let it cure for a couple hours then come back with another coat of it mixed approximately the same way, will it affect the adhesion of the second coat and will it make the first coat not cure properly?

good question! I'm new to using epoxy. I just this moment started my LOC Viper III. I'm letting the first batch cure. and wondering how long I need to wait before I can continue. I get bored waiting around, so I'm cruzin the forum while I wait. Hope some veterans chime in soon!

I would put on the 2nd coat of epoxy right as the first one gets real tacky. Then it will still have some chemical bondage.

"Chemical bondage", that gets a little sticky.

Though, he is correct. While you're waiting check out West System User Manual

I forgot about that users manual. That is where I read when to put a 2nd coat on
