Default Extending shelf life of two part epoxy chemicals

Mike,

Here's a neat trick. When I purchase a new epoxy kit, I always go to
Krogers (or similar low end food market) and get two rubber maid juice
containers with snap top lids. You've probably seen these on the
shelves, you know, the one where the actual top of the container screws
off, and there's a little snap top port off center attached by a loop of
plastic so it can't be lost. Then, I go to my local camera shop and get
one of those cheaper cans of dust off. These are the ones that have a
light, liquefied hydrocarbon under pressure in the can. This hydrocarbon
is heavier than air, and when sprayed into the juice container, will act
as an inerter (I just made that word up) for your epoxy and hardener.
