I do have a question about the cups. I'm hoping they aren't waxed drink cups? The wax will end up in the mixture and epoxy won't stick to wax.

From the "Dixie" cup web site:

"Once, cups were lined with wax. Today, paper cups are 95% paper and 5% polyethylene plastic lining."

I would think this is industry standard but I could be wrong.

Still, no matter the cup it may have some kind of chemical release agent coating to slide off the machines.

Bill, I'll call you on my rotary telephone and talk with you more about things that once were, if I can find it, and remember how to use it!
