A method of controlling the equivalent circulating density of an epoxy resin, used to cement a wellbore, is provided. The method includes adjusting the cross sectional area of the annulus exit using a valve or other mechanism to increase or decrease the equivalent circulating density of the epoxy resin.

This application relates to making magnesium oxychloride boards. A magnesium oxychloride slurry is mixed by directing magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, at least one phosphate, at least one inorganic salt, and water into a mixer and mixing these ingredients together to form a slurry. At least one filler is then mixed with the slurry. The slurry is directed to a mold. The mold is formed with the slurry to form a magnesium oxychloride board. The magnesium oxychloride board is then cured.
