Here is another tip with T-88.I have built over 200 ribs with T-88 and (for Wittman Tailwind builders) andhave found the the easiest way for me to mix and dispense the stuff is tobuy a bunch of 60ml syringes. They are graduated by 1ml increments. Meterin each half of the epoxy by volume from the bottles and then mix thouroghlywith a stick inside the syringe. Put in the plunger and invert to let theair to the tip. Squeeze out the material stuck in the tip and discard,since it isnt mixed. Now you dont have to spread the glue, just point andshoot. I usually mix 15ml resin and 15ml hardener putting in the thinner ofthe two first to ease mixing.The best trick of all is cleanup. Vinegar really works great! keep a cuphandy and you can clean the syringe by pumping vinegar in and out for a bitand store it in the cup. I have reused the same syringe several timesbefore it wears out.Steve E.-----Original Message-----
