Resin Crystallizing?

Featured Replies

I haven’t done any custom wrapping for over a year. I just finished a butt wrap for a friend and when I went to mix the Flex Coat and the resin had crystallized. I don’t know enough about epoxies to take a chance on using it. I know it will become a liquid if heated, but will it then be viable when mixed with the hardener?

10 second burst in microwave to liquify resin. It changes nothing.

I boil a cup of water and put the bottle in it.  Same thing as the microwave but safer IMO.

Short bursts on the microwave are in no way risky or unsafe.  This is standard operating procedure for renewing crystalized epoxy, both wrap and adhesive.

Thanks for the replies. I was going to wait for the kit I ordered, but seeing as I have 2/3 of the bottle, I’ll give using it a go.

If  you are still apprehensive then do the microwave routine then do a test wrap and see what you have.
