See
above log entry for an epoxy box I made to keep the stuff
warm. In
fact, I keep most of my fluids, paint, rtv and things
in there. Electric
heater thermostat and simple light bulb base
from Lowes. I used an old
kitchen cabinet I had laying around,
but you could build a simple box.
Stole the idea from Ray
Ballister!
If I were to build another, I would put two bulbs in
at half the wattage
each. The bulbs do burn out, usually in
winter, and it would be nice to
have "half power" when that happens, until
the bad one can be replaced..
Have an extra used Michaels pump
if anyone needs one. (Had two,
keeping
one)

[If
you use a 40 watt bulb rated for 220VAC in a lamp socket powered by 120VAC it
will put out the same heat as a 120v 20watt bulb with the advantage of lasting
almost forever. I use these in things like porch lights, etc... actually
had one outlive the fixture at 10 years plus. They're available at
Grainger, McMaster Carr, and other online sources... here's a link http://www.buylightfixtures.com/220-volt-light-bulbs.aspx?gclid=CNqZt9OfnLMCFQvznAodIlwAig.

Resin
This is a common problem and the "sludge" is crystalized
resin. If you heat
it up slowly and stir it will go back into
solution and is useable. Make
sure you get all the little bits
dissolved. It really makes a mess when you
try and smooth it out
onto a BID when there are little rocks of resin in the
mix. I
would check the expiration date, but it is has most likely expired.
I think
this tends to happen on older resin, and you probably only want to
use it
only on "non critical" parts. It also helps to keep the resin in
a
warm box - especially with winter coming. If you keep it
around 75-80, it
should stay in solution.

Has
anyone ever experienced this phenomenon? Resin was purchased in

This resin has somehow managed to separate and heavy opaque sludge
has
accumulated at the bottom of the 1qt Michaels pump
container.
