Using hysol

Post by EchoWhiskey »

I know this has been coverred extensively Im sure. But i thought i'd make a contribution for the guy who is new to all of this like me.
I saw a video of someone using a large caulk gun and 2 dowels to make a dispenser. I did the same but with 1"pvc run through a table saw to give it the perfect id.
I also read about using pastry bags so i bought these on Amazon. Thin but strong One,two,or three squirts, then i roll it down with a socket, twist, tie, mix, snip the end and go.

Allows for much cleaner application.

I use this https://www.amazon.com/CNBTR-Dispenser- ... EK3PWXXK9S

With corresponding mixing tubes.
https://www.amazon.com/3M-38191-Static- ... RGT9Z1TQFH

It is less than $15 for the gun, mixing tubes are cheap. They sell the hysol tubes as well (about $15), and I only have to mix what I need instead of a bunch of waste. If I only need a little, I just squirt some on a scrap of aluminum or paper plate and mix by hand. If I need a bunch I use the mixing tubes due to the inherent waste.

For the most part, I use this devise to "push" Hysol into a clear plastic Dixie Cup to mix, and then I apply with a disposable acid brush. If I didn't have my quick build wings, I would use the screw-on mixer/applicator that Dane shows. I have a gross of these but have only used 1 once.

Remember, if you are going to use/need these mixer/applicators, save a lot of projects and do them all at once. A lot Of Hysol gets wasted in the mixer. I bought this applicator on Ebay when someone on another thread discussed it. It uses the 200 ml cartridges.

Good Luck!
