<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everytime I hear someone say I have an =
epoxy that
is really thin, I want to shout out "HOW THIN IS =
IT?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found a great site at <A
href="http://xtronics.com/reference/viscosity.htm">http://xtronics.com/=
reference/viscosity.htm</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Water at 20 degrees C has a viscosity =
of 1.002cP
(centi-poise)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Olive oil is =
82</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Light machine oil is 102</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Caster oil is 986</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Honey is 10000</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ketchup is 50000</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Peanut butter is
250000 Etc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Epotec 301 is 100</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>West systems thinnest is =
725</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Liquid wood is 500</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Epotec301 is expensive since it =
is optical
grade. I'm waiting for a spec sheet for clear coat, but I =
think it is
similar to liquid wood.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There may be other qualities of epoxy =
that will
enhance penetration, but I would think viscosity would be the primary
one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Warming the pinblock, bridge or other =
items helps a
great deal. A lot of spec sheets don't list viscosity, hardness =
and other
parameters and there is no easy way to compare. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Still learning all I can about =
epoxy!!</FONT></DIV>
