BobP Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It looks to me like it might require more D2T resin and hardener in there than I normally use on a couple of baits, to get mixed properly. Plus you gotta clean off the little puck after. Might be useful for guys who use larger amounts of Etex for a batch of 5-6 baits though.

When done, I'm ready to take a break, not spend another 20+ minutes cleaning out a mixer. I'd rather pitch a poly cup in the garbage and crack a beer.

kelly Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ops miss type! 2 ton. Here is the instructions. Its for rod builders. Prepare rod epoxy in 3-5 minutes at a brisk 24 RPM - with no mess or unsightly bubbles. Made of stainless steel for years of service. Combine epoxy in plastic mixing cups (not included) for fast mixing and easy cleanup. On/off switch is integrated into the 6-ft. power cord. This new tool from Pacific Bay is designed to mix multi-part finish and epoxies with perfect no-bubble results, and is driven by it's included 24 RPM A/C-powered motor. Key Features: Mixes rod finish in 3 to 5 minutes - without bubbles Solid stainless steel "bearing mixer" insures thorough mixing of A & B resins Sturdy Base - Rugged construction will provide years of service Reliable On/Off switch is integrated into the 6' extension cord Includes 2 disposable mixing cups to get you started Works with standard 2.5oz mixing cups sold here 24 RPM - AC 120V 50/60 Hz 3.8W - 220V available for special orders - please make a note in the comments section of your order The cups are 2.5 oz. and a pack of 125 can be had for $6.95. The puck can be cleaned with a paper towel and alcohol in about 10 sec. If it were to dry in there probably just hit it with a hammer. I was hoping some one would have used one to see how it worked. Like the idea of no air bubbles and you can prep. while it mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
