Got to love their speed, I ordered a 3 gallon kit from Raka yesterday morning, it got here the following afternoon. I am close to the source, but still, the next day?
Yep, they're good!
In the box, there is a large, black plastic bag, nestled in a bed of Styrofoam packing. Inside that bag, each jug of liquid is also packed it it's own, individual, clear plastic bag.
One of those bags, is stuck to the jug it contains. It seems the jug is covered with a thin film of hardener. Not a lot, just a thin film covering the jug and inside of the bag.
It could be from a slight over-fill, I suppose. Or more likely, the jug got squeezed some how, and a little managed to squirt out the top.
If I can remember where I put it (for safe keeping, no doubt!) I'd remove the jug from it's bag and wipe it clean with acetone. Then, I'd put that suspect jug in a clean plastic bag (just in case,) and give Raka a call in the morning.
The reason I a little paranoid is that I did loose most of a gallon of resin that somehow leaked out of the jug, while still sitting in the box full of packing. Now that jug had sat there for 5 or more years, so I'm not blaiming anyone but me for that one.
Anyone else ever get an epoxy shipment in and find the outside of any of the plastic jugs all sticky?
I do have a gallon jug of the same kind of hardener that's nearly empty. If I get too nervous about this on leaking, I'll pour it into that older, larger jug. And I will call Raka in the morning, of course.
It does kind of bother me, knowing that I have a half-gallon can of aectone sitting around somewhere, but can't seem to find it.
