What do you'd wish you'd known about dosing two-part before you started?

You're gonna spend a fair amount of time mixing if you go through a good amount of 2 part. Do yourself a favor and pick up a magnetic stir plate.

And sacrifice my shake-weight reps?

While I do have a stir plate (and don't know why I did not think to use it for 2 part mixing), my method is usually the "dump and then forget how hot it gets via exothermic reaction" method.  Surprised I haven't melted the bottom of a jug out yet. 

 

This is what I feel like everytime I mix 2 part.

How'd it go?

 

So far so good! Alk has slowly crept up to ~8.2 from 7.6 so I cut back a couple ml per day. Everything looks very happy! Currently dosing around 8ml of each part split into two doses.
