<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

<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. BTDT.</FONT></DIV>
