HEY CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN:

  1. How epoxy PUTTIES are made? Does the body mostly consist of just epoxy + talcum powder mixed into each of part a and part b? can I make my own putty from a low viscosity epoxy?
  2. Is epoxy the strongest material in the world? Can someone disuss the possible achievable tensile strengths, what allows for these strengths because I often see tensile strength quoted
  3. Is epoxy often utilized in ICF (insulated concrete form) work for building homes to increase the strength of concrete and prevent the steel rods from corroding or is polyester used?
  4. I think the section about gel coats needs clarification.

It says that polyurethane can coat over epoxy and then it says it has poor adhesion. Which is it? Also, is it possible to use oil paint on top of epoxy (ie are there adhesion issues?)

  1. Can someone please add a section about how epoxy can be used in wood rot applications by applying borax first?
  2. Is silane ever added to epoxy?
  3. It is confusing so who owns the switzerland epoxy plant now?

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.47.199 (talk) 07:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
