Unscrew each nozzle,
there is a check valve ball and spring underneath. I soaked them in
acetone and replaced. Then, after reassembly I pumped acetone thru the
pump (got out some sticky black stuff). Finally I replaced the
reservoirs. Works great now. Don’t forget to weigh a couple of
pumps to make sure it is dispensing the correct ratio. Throw this
initial test batch away in case it is contaminated with acetone. I don’t
think acetone will affect the reservoirs, unless they have changed the
material.

Cleaning
Hello, everyone. I bought a
used epoxy pump a few years ago and now I am ready to start using it. I
got new reservoirs for the epoxy and hardener and I have cleaned the outside
with denatured alcohol. Is there anything else I need to clean?
How can I ensure everything is clean to put new epoxy into it? I
appreciate any advice!
