I've been mixin epoxy for a loooonnnnggg time building rods. It's all in the measure then in how you mix it. I use a metal spatula that's approx3/16 across. even a bad mix should be clear when mixed thorough. I use plastic mix cups and put both in the same cup and mix slow paying very clos attention to bubbles and such. I've coated approx 2000 plugs with etex in the last yr with it and rarely have a prob using a 2 dram mix of both parts.When i do I recoat within 24 hrs to get good adheasion. If it's still sticky in 12 hrs it's not gonna cure right.Recoat it. Don't go by weight whatever you do cause the are different.You can be a very small amount off and it will still work but you need to be as close as possible with your measure. Also be carefull the surface your covering with etex is clean ist.
