Today's mail brought three more of my favorite free tool for mixing epoxy. It was the May issue of Model Airplane News. Inside was three more epoxy mixing pads (subscription cards). I keep a supply of these handy cards in the box with my 5 minute and 30 minute epoxy. For laminating resin, I have a box of 3 oz paper cups. They are just the right size for mixing 2 oz batches of laminating resin, fit my Epoxy Balance published in Model Airplane News a couple of years ago, and are cheap. I am still using the box I bought over 10 years ago. Chuck Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
