I have an unrepentant sweet tooth that enables my addiction to the little pies (or tarts) sold at Wally World in their bakery department. Lemon, apple, blueberry, etc.; it doesn't really matter. However, these little delights come in an aluminum pie plate about 3" in diameter. I wash and save them and have found they are ideal receptacles into which I can pour my finish once it is mixed. Furthermore, just before using, I rinse them in cold water and then dry. Using Threadmaster Lite, I typically have a pot life of at least thirty minutes this time of year (and, maybe, a bit shorter in summer).
Robert, among other things, you didn't mention the temperature of the room in which you are working. And, if all else fails, reportedly, Aftcote has the longest pot life of any finish. While I have not tried it yet (hopefully I'll acquire some at ICRBE), I remember DR (Duane Richards) saying that he only uses it during warm whether because of its extended curing time. Slainte, Hunter From ghoulies and ghosties, and long leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord deliver us! Re: Epoxy Setting up before I finish a rod
