Did some epoxy this morning . Microwaved 6 cc's 10 seconds. Do not mix until you microwave it. Mixed for 3 minutes. Flowed like water. I say 15 minutes of pot life time. I had some left. reheat lightly w/heat gun. finished no problem.

Watch out heating mixed epoxy. It gives off heat as the two parts react and adding heat makes this reaction much faster and hotter. I tried micro-waving some once and it almost started a fire in the kitchen.
