Can I use the same measuring syringes for FlexCoat High Build and Lite build without cleaning them?

Thanks

I think the hardener is the same, but the resins are different. That may create potential problems.

I do it all the time with no adverse effects. Maybe it's wrong to do, but I do. If someone speaks up with potential problems, I'll consider stopping the practice.

I dunno, buy a $1.75 set of syringes for each type of finish and you'll never have to worry about it?

You are right on Billy - better safe than sorry - I choose not to take that chance - The syringes are a low cost item in the greater component scheme

If people spent more time on important things, there would be a shortage of flyrods.

Jeff,
I have been doing what you suggest for a lot of years and have never had any problems.

You can use the same syringe interchangeable without cleaning between, with any epoxy on the market. The hardeners are somewhat different but the tiny itsy bitsy amount of one product transferred to the next is not going to affect the finished product in any detectable manner. ALL of the room temperature curing epoxies on the rodbuilding market are very very very similar. Basically they are all an epoxy resin containing various additives to seek certain properties known only by the formulator of the product, and an Amine compound, which is the hardener side of the equation. There are more differences in the amines than in the epoxies, but basically one syringe is not about to be contaminated by using it without cleaning it, in the competitors product. This is not true if you try using a syringe that has been used in epoxies, then try using it in the hardener.
