I know you're not giving compleat details like certain persons. But
it's important imco that the surface you are putting the thickened epoxy into
has been "primed" with UNthickened first.
First meaning: just befor you put the buttered pieces in
and maybe stuffing the under-excavations with thickened goop.

Just my opinion.
I think you want squeeze-out where ever it happens. 360!


Jerry, You do unbelievably BEAUTIFUL prep work. Really, never seen anything like it.
I don't know how the hell you do it.
Prep is 95% of the finished job! Maybe 90%.

One more prejudice. I think epoxy gel is made 10 times stronger with the addition of 1/4" chopped strand. Years ago I heard somebody call it 'mishmash.' If you don't want to deal with the hair, even milled fiber will double the strength of plain cabosil and epoxy. Micro balloons add no strength.

Sorry, there may be somebody looking in who's just about to do it himself.
It's not easy having three things going at once: liquid - gel - mishmash.
But that's rassling.

Hefty makes 2 1/2 gal zip-slide bags that will take gallon cans.
Keep the A and B cans cold in the fridge until you get to the jobsite with the cans in a cooler.
At 88degrees you'll gain at least 15mins of extra time!
