    Am i reading this correctly total epoxy required 600ml ? had a look @ my measuring jug and 150ml is a really insignificant amount. the larger the quantity the bigger the exothermic reaction but i would have thought with the slow setting hardener exotherm would be reduced. i would drop West an email and see if you could do the 600ml in one mix, will make life a lot easier.
    Good luck on your next attempt.
    Regards
    Mike

    This is why, for Thor, I did not go Epoxy. I ended up with DWH Diamant, different approach.

    Hi Mike
    I went 150ml as I remember reading that 6 pumps was max before mixing. To be honest now I've done one round of this I think doing it in one shot would work OK. Maybe rig up a cordless drill on a stand with bent wire in the chuck and run this slowly between every 150ml added and then one final stir at the end.

    Would be interest in the Diamant. The 1kg epoxy kit i used was about £40 plus postage, how much was your kit ?
    I'm expecting to have to dial in the last bit of level so would be interested in how you got on.

    If you buy it in the UK, around £200 per litre. Its pricy stuff.

    I paid less via a friend in Germany.

    Oh wow. 200 per kilo?

    Not West though.
