6 Easy Tips for Mixing WEST SYSTEM Epoxy

[@luiferreira4253]

Hi Do you have a video of curing times for different types of hardeners?

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Keep it coming! And dont be shy to show some of the Gougeon brothers builds as well. Personally I would love to see a video on Strings. And you have some catching up to do on the videos. Look at what Easy Composites are making and the interest that generates :-)

Tip #7 Use a container that has a very smooth inside and flat bottom to reduce bubbles. Your stirring stick hitting even a small texture will create bubbles.

Can I use a cartridge and mixing nozzle with west system epoxy?

[@topherdean1024]

No. It won't mix it thoroughly enough.

[@MrsSmitaSinha]

What if I put hardener twice amount, in 1:1 ratio instead of required 1:2 ratio

[@topherdean1024]

Don't do it. More catalyst reduces strength. Stick to the proper ratio, which is 1-5 with WestSystems 105 resin and 205 slow hardener.

Can u help me how to make epoxy Hardener Thicks??

[@topherdean1024]

There are multiple additives to make the epoxy thicker. West Systems makes 405 fairing compound that can be mixed to a putty like consistency or thick syrup. Also you can add Phenolic microballoons, or polyester fiber.

Can you use dyes with it?
