I ordered the above epoxy and the labels were red and black. I thought that flexcoat may have changed labeling and cap colors. I usually use the black and yellow labeled epoxy. To my surprise red and black was much thicker in viscosity than black and yellow and a shorter work time. Is there a way to lengthen the work time or increase the viscosity? Also, is putting an equal but small amount of the red/black epoxy accurate enough to cure properly aka quarter sized amount of each or do I need to use my syringes. I tried to a warm bath of water and the epoxy thickened as before.
