The high viscosity makes mixing tough, and "whips" air into the mix. Even though the resin is cold to begin with, the exothermic behavior of the mix will quickly heat it up, foaming the bubbles and creating a hell of a mess! Probably the white appearance is due to bubbles in the resin or maybe "outgassing" from the wood. Hard to tell without more info. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Feb 01 1998 - 17:48:41 PST
