Simplest method of mixing epoxy in the amounts we generally use - a pad of "Post Its", and a box of toothpicks.
Not so fast there - this may work, but if you had been reading this
thread in its entirety you would have notice that the tile was
recommended as a non- absorptive surface to substitute for aluminum
foil. Epoxy manufacturers recommend that epoxy be mixed on
non-absorptive surfaces in order to prevent either the resin or
hardener from being absorbed by the substrate and possibly causing a
deficient cure of the epoxy. Sure you can mix it on paper, wood,
cardboard etc and it will probably work most of the time, but it is
better and more controlled to mix it as recommended. Glass, tile,
some plastics, some metals, and other non-absorptive or reactive
surfaces. Glass or tile is best IMO.
For more tips on proper use of epoxy adhesives (as per the
manufacturers) see my website.
