Hi! Phil
The yellow paste of the premix Redux can be reactivated by carefully melting
it down. Do it gradually and stir it well whilst melting into a liquid. When
finished allow to cool and you should find all the crystals have returned to
the bulk and you should be left with the thick creamy original texture.

Subject: Europa-List: Araldite 420
Hi,
Has anyone had this problem before?
I've been using some Araldite 420, which is in date and I believe has been
stored correctly. I've mixed some up twice now and despite mixing it
thoroughly for quite a while, I'm left with some very small 'flakes' of 420A
(the yellow paste). When I say small I mean about 1mm in diameter. I was
painting the glue on some metal parts and I managed to get most of the
flakes off the part but it was a struggle.
The glue has gone off and set hard but I can see some of these yellow flakes
in certain areas which I've ground out. Prior to mixing the second batch, I
put the 420A in the airing cupboard for a bit to warm up but I still had the
same problem.
Has this glue got a problem and if so, can I rectify it or do I need to get
a new can? Anyone know what I've done wrong if it does have a problem?
Thanks,
Phil
