It's much better in the 2-part full tube gun, without the mixing nozzle. Just squirt it out onto a plexiglass hawk (you can make one easily) and mix for 5-10 minutes with a plastic putty knife.
Looks like heavy vaseline. 12 hours later it's probably still going to be a bit soft but can be sanded and painted. Will continue to harden a bit more over time. Definitely use the primer (PrimeTrate) first.

thanks jvl
Note that with self-mixing systems you often need to discard a fair amount at the start before the mixing tube is fully "primed". If you don't you'll get a batch of stuff that doesn't set.
dan the cost of the 5oz tube is $30.00 dont you think they would have a better application system that wouldnt play a cat and mouse game with you.
That's business.
