[NSRCA-discussion] Epoxy Question

[Atwood, Mark]

Actually...my thought goes the other direction.  That if indeed the
alcohol actually MIXES with the epoxy, then it would truly bind and in
some way harden as part of the overall mixture.   Epoxy "cures"...rather
than flashing, so my guess...and it's truly a guess...is that it would
be much closer to the original total weight of 2 oz.   

 

Still waiting patiently for our resident epoxy deity, previously
referred to as Master Fowler to take away the mystery and lead us oh so
graciously to the light...

OK,  I'll take a stab.  After the alcohol evaporates you would have the
same mass or weight of epoxy that you started with.  AND to reiterate
what I learned from the Master Fowler, thinning epoxy, if I remember
right, changes the molecular structure weakening the mixture.  It will
also cause the epoxy to shrink over time. BTDT.

	Breaking news.  Here's something from Mike Harrison that will be
of interest to the list.

	Ok, think about this, take 1 oz epoxy and thin with 1 oz alcohol
(91%).?  After curing how much do you think it weighs and tell me why.
