SIX10 THICKENED EPOXY

[gdjsky01]

I got an email from Wildman about this product... at first I thought, sign me up!
However it seems the nozzles are single use. So on a 4 fin rocket with 8 fillets, assuming 2 at a time, you'd go through 4 automatic mixing tips. Which I would guess cost cents and are sold for dollars.
It 'seems' to me this $32 epoxy caulk gun cartridge is not worth it. It is meant for boat makers who'll use the whole cartridge in one go...

I'll just mix and thicken my own. I guess... Oui? Or missing something?

dont use the tip, squirt it out on a mixing board and manually mix it, recap when done...no waste, of course you still have to pull the fillets the regular method.

I’ve used Six10 for a fin repair and really liked it. A regular caulk gun works fine, and it comes with a plug that lets you reseal it between uses.

Or do them all in one go.

Yay...a glue thread!

Six10 is interesting, but a difficult value proposition. I prefer to mix my own [insert brand here] epoxy with the additives/fillers I want. And the economics are much better...

I tried it last year and didn't care for it. $32 + extra tips just doesn't make sense to me. Seemed like it set-up much faster than I expected too

I think it would be a great set up. Makes it easy to do internal fillets.
