How do you stop the epoxy from running over the side of a flat surface?

You need to create a false edge with something. I've used tape around the perimeter that sticks up beyond the edge, creating a "pool" that gets filled with the product. This requires sanding and finishing when dry. Follow the instructions for best results.

After a few minutes it starts to set and will cling to a vertical surface, like the edge of a counter. I used a sponge paint brush and kept moving extra from the top surface to the side surfaces until it stopped running. Looked great when it was all set!

Hi! The project I bought this for was to fill in a surface that had a border so I didn't have that issue. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I used paint tap along the edges. It worked well on the flat parts. Not so perfect on the corners. I kept it thin and watched it close.

If you want the epoxy to go all the way to the edge of your project then some of it will inevitably run off. It has a high surface tension though so it wont all just fall over the edge like water. Pour it close to the edge and in the middle (like in the picture on the box) and then use something to spread it / push it closer to the edge. In order to get all the way to the edge you will probably end up pushing some off, but most of it should stay on top. I would add that I used the exact amount recommended for my square footage (I think it was 64 oz for 9 sq ft) and I wished I had just a bit more. Also if you have any cracks do a pre seal or seal with some polyurethane first as it will leak through. There are some decent youtube videos demonstrating the proper application process as well.

Use thin layers but you'll have to apply more coats. Making sure each one is completely dry before adding another

In my experience, these need to be used on a flat, even surface - otherwise they will not stay together.

Not really. The sides are fabric, but you might try using Scotch Guard. That may help.

If you rough up the Bondo a bit and wipe it down with acetone the epoxy should adhere very well. Thank you.

Great point. I took some wax paper and stuffed it through the hole and hoped it would be roughly in position so that when pressure was put on, it wouldn't matter if the wax paper was in the way, between the 2 layers. Or, if the hole is small, then just apply glue only around but not too close.

Let it set for a few hours before allowing the heatsink to become a hung weight off the IC. AS does not make several epoxies as of my last check, there was only this and the alumina (or is it ceramique?) epoxy. The performance difference in use between them is trivial.

No it will not touch the surface. There is a lip around the edge to prevent it from doing so.

Hi Patricia, Apply pressure to the top (press down firmly and at the same time unlatch). That should do it! Patrick

It is not recommended because if the canvas flexes, the epoxy could crack. This is recommended as a top coat for rigid surfaces.

This will not work; too spongy. Try paint with sand in it. Or check for self-adhesive strips with "sandpaper" on one side.

It would seem to me that you could do this. I found that the clear coat does not go as far as the epoxy does in coverage. You may need additional clear coat.

I used a small putty knife, but it is difficult to get completely flat.Overfilling the area lets you sand it flat once dry.

The surface you will need to apply this onto must be very very flat. It works for me however I am using it in and outdoor project.

You might be able to flatten out the inner material and place a plywood or similar flat board to cover the area to drive over it. The material will tear if rubbed on for an extended period of time. The flattened board should eliminate the rubbing, provided it doesn't move much horizontally when driving over it.

Just pull it straight off, grip the plastic sides, hope this answers your question. Steve W.

Across the frame of the rack on the 4 wheeler. Try to find a spot that will not allow slippage or will minimize it

Tough thing with epoxy resins is that it flows. The fiberglass cloth, if used properly, can help to control this. Once dry the only way to deal with run off is by sanding. of course this will produce a rough finish. Smooth the finish by using Acetone solvent applied liberally with a q-tip. several attempts may be required. If the fiberglass cloth is exposed then another application of the epoxy resin will be required.
