Over the last 25 years or so I've personally consumed a couple 50 gallon drums of epoxy, and applicator ressurection was never foremost in my mind.[/quote]
Different applications and methods, but I have used drums per shift. Also used to mix it for
our industrial uses. Up to 5 2400# batches mixed per shift.
That use has nothing in common with bedding or stocks.
But we did pre-preg Kevlar.
For helmets and other ballistic shapes.
