You shouldnt need to heat up the Redux. Once it is mixed with the hardener
it is too runny anyway and you will need to add flox (probably mentioned in
the instructions anyway).
We found a good way to dispense the Redux mix cleanly is to use a LARGE
syringe (1" diameter) with a LARGE NOZZLE. A cake icing syringe would work.
You will need to do a test to see how much flox it will take before clogging
the syringe. Also you need to work fairly fast as the mix will tend to
exotherm. Put the mix you are not using in the fridge (but dont tell the
wife !) Make sure you cover the pot and keep it away from the food. You may
need to warm it a bit when you take it out.
The point however is that once loaded in the syringe you will work much
faster and cleaner anyway.
