Hi Chris: If you want a one component epoxy with a "fast cure" you are
going to have to bake it. There is no such thing as a one component room
temperature fast cure epoxy. By definition it couldn't exist. Soon as
you filled the dispense applicator up, it would start curing.
If you want to go down the epoxy trail here are your options:
* Use a two part epoxy fast (short pot life) room temperature cure
system .
* There are one component refrigerated epoxies that will cure at
room temperatures but they may not be as fast as you want.
* Use a one part epoxy that has a fast bake cycle
If you can't bake, don't want to mess around with two components or
refrigeration, my choice would be:
* A one part U/V curable system. They cure virtually
instantaneously with a U/V light source. A little pricey, but if it does
what you want it to that's the cost of business. There are epoxies,
acrylics, silicones and cyanoacrylates. Check with Loctite and Dymax for
products.
However taking it one step further I would investigate one component U/V
curable marking inks or soldermask and forget about the epoxy.

Subject: [TN] Epoxy Marking Pens
Hello all,
Can anyone tell me where I can get single part epoxy pens? I am looking
for a way to mark FR4 (on the dge) CCA's to indicate operations have
been performed, but everything I have tried washes off in the inline
cleaner. We are using a Kyzen A4520 at 15% concentration 125F and
everything we try comes off. So our last resort is to go with single
part fast cure epoxy and hopefully be able to get it in different colors
and in a form that allows us to put it on quickly and easily.
Please help obi whan kenobie your my only hope. Its almost Friday -
getting a little excited.
Thanks in advance.
