Hi Techneters.

        I am looking for a fast curing epoxy, that will wet holes 11.0
mils or smaller. At present time we are using BUEHLER Sample Quick that
sets in 5 minutes and is cured in ~ 10 minutes. The only problem we are
having with this epoxy is that it has a very poor wettability of small
holes. So when you go to polish these samples the holewalls have a
tendency to collapse due to the lack of support in the hole.
        We used to use BUEHLER Epoxide with a cure time of about 2 to 3
hours. This agent had fairly good wetting properties but unfortunately a
little slow if you want to return results in a timely manner to the
shop.
        Does anyone know of a compound out there that cures quickly and
has a good wettability in 11.0 mils or smaller holes.

                        Thank you
