All you composite guys. Are any of you using a epoxy mixing pump?

If so which one and how much did you pay for it?



I see one on Aircraft Spruce for $266.95.

Sounds too expensive.

I've used this one for years....it's a good one.

Can you email a picture of it Sandy? I am curious about

how it works. What mechanism is used?

You put the hardener in the left container and the epoxy in the right.
There is an AN6 tube (they’re bent over in this picture. They should be
upright.) for each container that will empty into your cup. Then you mix
it up. With adjustments you can fix the ratio of hardener to epoxy very
accurately. My mix is 44:100. The horizontal lever is used to pump both
materials at the correct ratio. Easy and very convenient. I’d hate to
build a plastic airplane without one.
