If im casting in to a metal pipe like for a coax barrel to chamber plug i just use my gas soldering iron to heat the pipe

Well I got some new stuff today--- small syringes I know. They had bottles, but the bottles were only 5 minute set, and 1,500 PSI strength so I got this stuff.

Hopefully this stuff flows much better.

I have used that on many of my guns, its thick, but I managed to cast a piston and seal barrels on pen guns.

what you have is a very nice strong epoxy, i use it often. if i realy want it to flow i heat the tubes up in very hot water and the epoxy becomes close to the consistancy of water

[JDP12]

Awesome thanks.

Good to know as I'll be casting some syringes inside some pipe later on.

that stuff will be perfect for internal parts. I'm starting to turn to the real low viscosity marine epoxy (bote cote) for the purposes of making realistic looking gun shells. I use modelling clay to make a male mold, then press the shape into more clay to make the female mould.

[JDP12]

So c11man, you heat up the tubes before mixing them together?

1st off even if you could find enough air storage to get you that deep the pressure would crush you to the size of a single cell organism. 2ndly you would never find the entrance, it pops up in random locations of jsr's choosing.

Bahahahaha!!! That made my day!!! Let us know about your results! I'd be curious to see how that stuff preforms...or did you return it already?

In years to come the myth of JSR will become Stig-like in magnitude and disparity from the truth...

Some say his pet elephant is pink, and that he has no understanding of "PG rated forum". All we know is, he's called JSR.

[JDP12]

Lol. One of these will have to go in my sig.

And yea I exchanged the paste in favor of the devcon stuff. Won't get to use it for awhile since I leave tomorrow for college

[c11man]

yes i heat it up before i mix them. that becuase i sometimes use 5 minute epoxy so i dont have time to heat after mixing. but i only do it with very hot water, no flames or anything

[lozz08]

i always put my epoxied items on top of my wood heater or next to my oil heater for a number of hours. increases bond strength and decreases set time.
