<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>That is very true, however, it depends on the amount of alcohol used and strength required. I routinely use thinned 5 minute for fuel proofing, never on a structural joint.</FONT></div>

<div>Didn't the master say that is not good idea to use alcohol to thin epoxy? I could be wrong since my memory is bad. Anyone remember? </div>

<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well folks,</FONT></div>
<div><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is a preliminary finding...Considering the fact that I probably skewed the results by stirring the mixture to keep it incorporated, and the 5 minute epoxy mixture I used has only been curing for about 60 minutes, I found no detectable loss of weight on a Pelouze PS20DL digital postal scale. I will try to attach a pic of the weight of the cup, stir stick and mixture. </FONT></div>
<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>The cup and stick weigh .5 oz, with the remainder being the mixture. One thing you will see is that stirring the mixture makes a gelatinous mess...</FONT></div>

<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.

<div><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></div>
