Re: [Histonet] Epon resin
Hi Myriam & HistoNetters
This is actually a very complicated question,
depending on quite a lot of factors. However,
the one suggestion I would certainly make is to
substitute BDMA for DMP-30 as the accelerator.
It has a viscosity of 0.85 cP at 25°C compared to
DMP-30 (20.50 cP). If you are going to use
Araldite, I recommend you consult Audrey
Glauert's books. I usually use Luft's NMA/DDSA
formula, except with BDMA.
best regards,
Steven Slap
