Quite,
Someone asked be about re-paining a motorcycle (plastic) front mudguard and I noticed it has a poorly repaired crack across it. I suggested he first repair the crack (reinforce with fibreglass underneath / weld / mesh etc) and he went and got it repainted without.
And of course it's now cracked across the previous crack and so 'spoiling' the paint job he had paid for. ;-(
Cheers, T i m
People mix them incorrectly.
If the two parts are transparent then they should be transparent when mixed. What people do is energetically mix the two products resulting in the mix turning milky with too much trapped air. This is not ideal for bonding, especially with the fast 5 minute epoxies - you are effectively bonding with an epoxy foam.
Heating the mix can make it more runny releasing most of the trapped air but its probably better not to trap the air in the mix in the first place.
