REFLECTOR:Resin & Hardener heater question

[Bob Hugel]

John, Ronnie & Brett...
Thanks for the input.. The weather here in NE PA has been only hitting the
60's, with 40's at night.. and today I was cleaning my pump, and getting
ready to put fresh resin and hardener into it, when it dawned on me that all
the crystallization could be prevented if I had a $5-$10 fish tank heater.
As pointed out by Ronnie, they have built in temp. controllers, are built to
stand up to acidic water, and draw minimal current.  Lastly, since they are
submerged in the material there is minimal loss of heat.

Thanks again.. Bob

I was wondering if there is any reason why a fish tank warmer should or
could not be used to keep resin and hardener at a comfortable temperature
(perhaps 80 degrees)?  It makes a lot more sense (to me) rather than using a
lamp under the whole pump assy.

Does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks, Bob
