    If 3 ozs of epoxy has a pot life of 60 minutes, is there a way to determine pot life for larger quantities, with temperature and container shape being constant? Also, for each 18 degree F temperature increase, gel time is reduced in half. How does this temp increase affect viscosity percentage? Thanks.
