epoxy info:
2/1 ratio
7 hr hard time @ 78 , 7 days full cure
working time 20 min at 78

safety:
always wear gloves and wear a respirator or work outside when working with epoxy resin, and when sanding resin that is not fully cured.

general :
never very ratio for epoxy
do not thin epoxy
always fully mix epoxy before adding any fillers or pigments.

mixing:
this resin has a mixing tint to take full advantage i use clear mixing cups .when you first start mixing it will look milky after about 1 min. of mixing ( mix slowly and make sure to scrape the sides and bottom to limit bubbles and to get a complete mix.
only add pigments/ fillers after mixing

gun prep:
1 sand all surfaces to 80 grit with the grain to promote a strong mechanical bond.
2 quick ounce over with a green scotch brite pad
3 blow dust off the gun
4 from this point on do not touch gun with bare hands ( oils from your hands will give the finish "fish eyes"

application:
1 hang the gun and bring the room and gun up to temp (around 78) (do not apply resin as the temp is rising or you will get bubbles)
using a disposable brush or high quality sponge brush apply a thin coat of resin. check on the gun and stop drips every 20 min until hard
2 add 2 or 3 more thin coats : call it good if happy with finish or
3 sand to 220 to remove any lumps
4 do 2 more thin coats or until happy
5 do NOT start assembling the gun for at least 4-6 days to give the resin time to cure (it will be very ez to scratch the first couple days
