>How do you get precipitate out of epoxy?According to the system 3 resin I have, all you have to do is heat slowly to
above 125F for a little while. I had a small bottle crystalize on me, stored in
the garage in California over the winter, and I just put it in a pan of hot
water until it went clear on me, and it seems to be perfectly OK. I've used it
a couple of times since, worked fine.
I would suggest, however, that you check with the manufacturer of the epoxy that
you have. Never know, might be differences in this area.
Good luck,
Glen

Subject: [bolger] Epoxy as dangerous goods
Hello:
We had a lot of snow this winter (about 8 m, with over 2 m on the
ground), and when it finally melted enough for me to see my beloved
glas-kevlar canoe about 2 weeks ago, it was crushed flat! When I
shovelled the snow off, it popped back up, but the sides are creased
and severely weakened.
So, I am doing repairs now, and have a couple of questions about
epoxy that I'd be greatful if someone could answer:
1. How do you get precipitate out of epoxy. I guess mine got a bit
too cold. I remember reading that you should heat it up, but how hot
do you have to get it?
2. Does anyone know the "dangerous goods" status of epoxy? Can it be
sent on a plane or taken in your luggage? By mail?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Pike,
Tromso, Norway.

Not very hot. I've warmed epoxy by putting the container in a basin or
bucket of hot water. The precipitate, or crystallized resin will slowly
melt back to liquid -- you may have to change the water as it cools. MAS
epoxy folks recommended putting it in the microwave oven for short (10
second?) bursts, but I never had the nerve to try it.
For the "dangerous goods" status, try phoning an airline or post office.
Good luck,
Jamie Orr
