MIX MIX MIX! Especially with epoxy which is thicker and harder to mix.

orange4boy,
Which epoxy are you referring to?
West System is actually quite thin and certainly thinner than the polyester resin I am used to working with.
You are right that mixing is important, but after mixing a full pump of epoxy and hardener, I stir pretty vigorously for about 30 seconds or so, and by hand. I get allot of bubbles during the mixing operation and make sure all the "corners" of the mixing container participates in the mixing operation.
Then that's it!! Ready for applying to the cloth. I haven't had any issues at all regarding bad mixes using this technique, and I did the entire underside of the Insight this way.
Jim.
