What is the ratio of resin to hardener?

The ratio range for catalyst to resin is 1 to 2 percent hardener to the total volume of resin to be used. For example, four drops of hardener will be 1 percent of 1 ounce of resin. Adding more of less of the catalyst agent will speed up or slow down the curing time for the resin.

How much hardener do I need for 8 oz fiberglass resin?

DIRECTIONS: Mix Polyester Resin and Hardener using 12 drops of Hardener per ounce of Resin.

Can you put too much hardener in fiberglass resin?

Adding too much of either resin or hardener will alter the chemical reaction and the mixture will not cure properly.

Will fiberglass resin harden without enough hardener?

You let it sit, and sit, and sit, but it never completely hardens. Chances are you did not add enough catalyst, the chemical that hardens the resin. It’s a chemical process and depends on how close you were to the proper amount of catalyst.

How much hardener do I mix with fiberglass?

Fibreglass Resin: for 100ml of resin (cold day) use 2.5 to 3ml catalyst; and for 100ml resin (hot day) use 1.5 to 2ml catalyst.

What is the ratio for mixing fiberglass resin?

2.5: 1
Resin is calculated between 2 – 2.5: 1 Resin to Glass ratio. So, you have 10.8 kg of fibreglass matting, 10.8 x 2 = 21.6 kg of Resin minimum, say 25kg of resin to be safe.

What happens if you don’t add enough hardener to resin?

Too much or too little hardener will affect the cure time and thoroughness of the cure. A. Remove the uncured epoxy. Do not apply additional material over non-curing epoxy.

What happens if you put less hardener in resin?

Adding too less or too much resin or hardener will alter the reaction and the mixture will not be cured completely. Poorly mixed resin will stuck to the sides or bottom and will not cure properly ( sticky spots will appear ). Tacky/Sticky Situation 1: Tacky resin. The cured resin is sticky like a tape.

What is the mixing ratio for fiberglass resin?

A 2 oz. tube of liquid hardener (MEK Peroxide) is sufficient to harden the entire contents of a gallon container. Add 14 drops of liquid hardener per 1 oz. of Fiberglass Resin (or for ¼ can of Fiberglass Resin, use ¼ tube of liquid hardener).

What kind of hardener do you use for fiberglass resin?

Bondo fiberglass resin liquid hardener is designed specifically for use with Bondo fiberglass resin and Bondo metal reinforced filler. This hardener is easily mixed with resin or filler; a chemical reaction creates an extremely strong, waterproof repair material.

How do you measure resin and hardener?

Start by pouring 15 oz of resin into the measuring cup, followed by 15 oz of hardener, to give you 30 oz total. The 32 oz kit is the perfect amount for your project’s needs.
