Has anyone sprayed epoxy? I'm coating the bottom and the plan was to use a primer gun and MAS low viscosity and medium hardener at 2:1 and diluted 10 or 15 percent with denatured alcohol.

Am I headed the right direction?

Thanks

Yes, and be sure to clean your gun by running straight denatured alcohol or acetone through it soon after you shoot the epoxy.

You can always call the Mas Epoxies Tech Help Line at Phone: 856-303-9245
Toll-free: 888-627-3769 or 800 398-7556.

Good Luck.

BTW uncured epoxy can also be cleaned up with cheap white vinegar, safer and cheaper and less toxic than laquer thinner, acetone, denatured alcohol.

You can also use vinegar to strip the wax from certain epoxies prior to sanding. It will save you a lot in terms of clogged sandpaper. Less pads to buy, and it makes the epoxy sand a lot easier.

Good to know. Besides I like vinegar on salads.
