I agree with Jim M. I have had mine for about a year and have had no problems (even after a couple months of inactivity). I did bring the epoxy bottles and pumps in the house over the winter to avoid freezing. I think once you put a pump on a bottle you're supposed to keep a little distance between the resin and hardner so the fumes don't start "interacting" with each other?? Maybe I'm wrong about that but I keep mine about two feet apart just in case. I don't want any "improper interacting" going on in my shop - at least not unless I'm in there.
: I have pumps installed on my epoxy bottles. I put a plastic bag over them and secured it with a rubber band. Is that an acceptable way to leave things? Do I need to take them off and clean them somehow if I'm not going to be doing anything for a few days (like over the holidays)?
