    The hand plunger works okay if you don't use mixing nozzles. McMaster Carr sells a reasonably priced dispensing gun. The gun, mixing nozzles, and tubes make using Hysol a real pleasure, and you waste much less Hysol. It's definitely not cheap though. McMaster also sells the tubes of 9460, but buy them from Kitfox if you can.

    I agree with Brian. I think him and I met during his purchase of these items here in CA. But, definetly get the gun. It makes laying your beads down on the spar for the leading edge installation so much easier. The second reason is the fact you can put a tip on, use a little, and cap it all back up without waste.

    If you choose to not get the gun and mixing nozzles it is still very easy to use. The hand plunger pushes out an exact 50/50 amount that you can easily mix with a popsicle stick. Keeps costs down, and yes as Eddie said you can cap off a partially used tube for later with no waste.

    So just to make sure I understand....the two parts are thoroughly mixed in the nozzle as it is pushed thru...comes out gray?

Brandon informed me that it can be made well by very brief heatings in a micro wave and that worked well. (You have to be careful to not get it too hot.) Today (now 2 years old) I needed to use/mix some and was surprised that the "chunks" were much worse and it took a lot of careful heating and mixing to get it back to its original consistency. I don't know how its strength has been affected, if at all, but I'm not using it in a critical application. It appears to be setting up normally. All this is to say that I won't be, and don't recommend, buying any in advance.
    Unopened Hysol 9460 should be stored at 36-46 degrees F. Opened hysol should be stored between 46 and 69F. Max storage temp 82F

    That is correct. The tips for the prefilled syringes have channels that mix the two halves and it exits grey. Get more than you think youll need. I think I bought 20 tips total. Still have some left. I think I bought 4 or 5 double barrel pre-filled syringes. I think I have one left. I didn't install a Laker leading edge BTW.

    R.S. Hughes & Amazon have the best prices on the 50 ml tubes that I’ve found - less than $16/tube. They also carry the guns, nozzles, etc. Free shipping with Amazon Prime.
