Hmmm, Methyl Hydrate, that isn't available in the local hardware
store is it? I've got lacquer thinner, mineral spirits and denatured
alcohol in stock. I can get my hands on some toluol and maybe some
methyl ethyl ketone.
It is sometimes used as fuel as well. But NEVER use anything else but
methyl Hydrate. Hardware and paint stores sell it.
The proper dispensing gun? No! They want $170 for one. I tossed
the mix in my caulk gun and drilled a hole in the end a dowel and hooked
it onto the little crook handle on my caulk gun. Now as the resin is
dispensed, the top catalyst tube dispenses at the same rate, and goes
thru the static mixer just slick as s#&t.
LOL.. whatever works, dude! Cox makes a gun that sells for around 100
buckaroonies.
I am serious but not enough to pay $1300 for lessons and such. I
think you hooked me up. I learn quick thru my own schol of hard knocks.
A couple of medium sized jobs, and you'll have that money back. A lot of
manufacturers want to 'certify' the fabricator. The ISSFA method is the
bulk of what they are after. Warranty issues and all that rot.
It can be a very rewarding career path.
