Epoxy Application Tools – Reliable, Convenient, Reusable
Our reusable epoxy application tools were chosen with both the end user and the characteristics of epoxy, in mind. When cured, WEST SYSTEM epoxy sticks tenaciously to most substrates including wood, metal, and fiberglass. However,
105 System epoxies do not adhere easily smooth, high-density plastics without special preparation such as a flame treatment. This is why we prefer epoxy application tools made out of plastic. The smooth surface coupled with the flexibility of plastic allows you to pop cured epoxy off of the surfaces of these mixing tools so you can use them again and again.
The square, beveled end of our reusable mixing sticks will reach into the square corners of our Mixing Pots for thorough mixing of epoxy and blending of fillers. It is also good for cleaning and removing the small ridges of uncured epoxy left from a filleting job. A mixing stick can be used to pop epoxy laminate parts off a mold, or where standard metal tools might mar your project. The opposite end of the each mixing stick is rounded, making it excellent for shaping a clean, 3/8″ radius
fillets for reinforcing epoxy bonded joints. Read more about

Our poly mixing pots have squared corners to facilitate scraping the sides of the pot with a mixing stick. Simply flexing our roller pan or plastic spreaders will pop off the cured epoxy.
Obviously, our glue brushes and foam roller covers aren’t classified as reusable epoxy application tools, but they are excellent for applying epoxy. The density of the foam roller introduces very few bubbles while rolling epoxy onto a surface. The glue brushes have hollow metal handles to dissipate the heat that is generated from the chemical reaction between epoxy resin and hardeners.
