2. CLOTH CUTTING : You-can get by with just a standard pair of good
fabric scissors, but the job is much easier with the large pair
of industrial scissors (Weiss model 20W). They're $25 (gulp!)
but worth it in the long run.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
FOAM - Hot-wire-cut surface needs no preparation. Sand ledges or
bumps even, fill holes or gouges with dry micro immediately
before the layup. Brush or blow away dust.
GLASS - Always sand completely dull any cured glass surface (36-
grit or 60-grit sandpaper). Re-sand if it has been touched with
greasy fingers.
METAL - Dull with 220-grit sandpaper.
3. MIX EPOXY : Follow all mixing steps shown on your epoxy balance.
Mix two minutes, 80% stirring and 20% scraping the sides and
bottom. Don't mix with a brush.
Micro Slurry - Approx equal volumes of mixed epoxy and
microspheres.
