With the discontinuation of Araldite 1253 wood epoxy, Huntsman, the manufacturer, has suggested that museums team up and purchase it in large quantities and split it up amongst ourselves. This is the only option they offer for purchasing and it seems time consuming and expensive. Huntsman also suggested trying Epocast 1645, which they also manufacture. Has anyone tried this or any other product for comparison to Araldite’s working properties? If so, which product(s) and what was the result?
