Greg Loehr and Stingray should get a laugh out of this one.
I recently ordered a 3 gallon kit of Resin Research epoxy. I would have preferred to have purchased it from my local material shop but they don’t carry fast hardener in the brand they stock. I also had a bit of resin and hardener left over from a previous purchase.
I had the brilliant idea of combining what was left of the old stuff with the new stuff. No problem, right? I had mixed a batch already so there was plenty of room in the new jugs for what was left of the old.
WTF?! After I did it, I discovered that I had mistakenly poured the old RESIN in the new HARDENER jug!! Great - “There goes about 70 bucks” I thought to myself.
I didn’t shake it or anything. Today I poured the hardener through a filter screen and watched carefully for any chunks. So far, so good. I got all the way to the bottom of the jug and found probably an ounce or two that was solid at the bottom.
No big deal. I’m going with what’s left and hoping for the best. “Read the label” next time. Sheesh!
Only $$$$$. No skin in the game . Unlike the time while waiting for a lam to set I drank a couple of bottelas de Mexican Dishwater(ie Corona). Jumped up off the stool, grabbed the edge of my tape in one hand; my single edge industrial razor blade in the other and proceeded to cut. All of a sudden there’s very red blood all over the place. Whoops! Wasn’t pressing the back of the blade. I had pressed my finger onto the blade itself. Haven’t done that again. Lowel
I never do dumb things. Never. You hear me? Never. Now let it go.
I have never mixed two parts hardner and one part resin and burned a smoking hole in a my EPS blank. Or installed my Fusion boxes backwards. (best to go ahead and glass it then route the box out) To the best of my recollection.
i have never routed a bahne box hole all the way thru a longboard, then patched the hole, then routed all the way thru the deck again. Nor have I done Mcdings razor blade trick with all the blood. Nor dropped a router on my big toe…not me.
I set up the vac bag at work today to put the skins on the school project board, I had to go to class, I came back 70 mins later and it had pulled down but not all the way (aaarrrggghhhhh), noticed where the kids had re applied the tape to seal had missed a section, put tape over that and it pulled down really nice, only trouble is that its PU foaming glue and after that long its pretty much cured, will be leaving the pump going 'till three at least hope it sticks.;(
yes the router would have hurt, I might have needed an ice pack and several beers… having also not dropped a cinder block on my big toe, I can tell you which one would hurt more (in theory)… the cinder block. Particularly when you use the corner of it…
