We mix ours to make it thick like peanut butter. Was wondering if John had something I wasn't aware of." Dale, I don't know about Jon, but I've been using a fairly new epoxy from West System. It's called Six10, "thickened epoxy". It comes in a tube to be used in a caulking gun! If you're going to use the whole tube, (which is really only about 1/2 full to start with), you can use the automatic mixing nozzle and draw a "bead" on whatever you've goopiing up.<G> When I'm just doing a small job, I don't use the nozzle and just come straight out of the tube onto a hunk of cardboard, etc. for hand mixing. This stuff comes pretty close to the stuff I can no longer get, that was a marine trauma repair stuff that would have little/no sag. btw, the color is adequate to use as a shim bonder in s.b. shimming as well. Almost invisible.<G> It's a bit expensive, but the ease of use and consistency offsets that in my book. Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
