Will epoxy melt a ziplock bag?
I need to make a 1/4" bead of epoxy for a project I'm working on. All I have are the two parts of epoxy to mix together. I was wondering if I could pour it into a heavy duty ziplock bag, and pipe it out of a cut corner, kind of like cake icing. This of course would be a very bad idea and very disasterous if the epoxy dissolved the plastic. I think it has the consistency of caulk, but I don't know yet, because I haven't mixed it yet.
The spec sheet is here: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-46575698582215...
If you look at the spec sheet, it says, "In reaction with many curing agents, considerable heat is released." So I might actually have issues with the high heat melting the bag. The company selling it to me told me to just brush it on.

No problem. I very often mix the two part epoxy on plastic the same as Ziploc bags, then when I am done and the epoxy cures, just flex the plastic and remove the waste. Be sure you buy the right epoxy. It comes in different curing times. The five minute might be too fast for your purpose.
