I epoxy sealed the outside of some basswood blanks tonight just to toughen them up a little and I tried keeping the mixed epoxy warm and that seemed to take care of the issue where it was setting up and getting the film that we had to keep mixing. I usually fill one of those square coffee cans with hot water and sit the bottles of epoxy in it before mixing just so they mix better.

After I mixed it tonight I flipped the lid of the coffee can over and put a piece of tin foil on it then I set the lid on the coffee can full of hot water. I mixed 2 batches and the hot water kept it warm and both batches stayed nice and thin the whole time.
