Epoxy pouring advice

[cncJim]

Hello,

I have been looking up various resouces on epoxy and I found this video I thought I would share...

How to make an epoxy dam - YouTube

Talks about creating a dam to contain the epoxy and although his method (using tape) does not seem to lend itself to my use of leveling rails there were a couple of parts that interested me:-

• The guy states that epoxy will not bond with "blue" tape (is this the blue masking tape?) or duct tape. I wonder if this applies to all makes of epoxy? Could be useful to apply a strip of tape to whatever material you use to make your dam to allow it to release with ease?
  
• Priming - Making up a small batch of epoxy the day before the main pour and painting it on to seal any gaps.
  

This also got me thinking would the primed edge help reduce the meniscus forming?
