It's like a thinner stronger version of the West System and is used by the military to make lenses...you get the point...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, this epoxy mixes well with the West fillers and I was dispensing a batch using some standard wood glue injectors. The problem turns out that these injectors use a silicone as a mold release which can prevent the epoxy from curing properly. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Epotek referred me to a company that sells needle kits that work awesome but are way too expensive for our purposes.
