Nuking Rod Bond

Is it safe to nuke the Rod Bond resin in the microwave for a little bit.Mine is somewhat harder than it should be?Even when mixed up thoroughly I get little chunks of the resin that does'nt mix with the hardener.It sets up just fine and dries hard.Thanks Joel

Take the lid off and do it in short 8 to 10 second bursts. A better way might be to just sit the jar in a pan of really hot water for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Joel, I have used the hot water method and it is safer IMO than the microwave. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.
