Mixing Instructions
Currently we carry 1:1 ratio and 2:1 ration epoxy resin.
- 1:1 Ratio - Mixing Instructions
Mix this resin 1:1 by volume. If mixing by weight, mix 100 parts of resin into 83 parts of hardener. When mixing this product, make sure to use a round cup & mix thoroughly scraping all sides and bottom of the mixing container.
Improperly mixed epoxy can create a major headache. Remember that thermoset plastics are temperature sensitive. Cold weather slows the curing process down, whereas heat speeds curing up. Always try to mix chemicals at room temperature. For best results, try pouring epoxy into the hardener. Pour along the side of the container to help alleviate air entrapment. Mix for at least 3-5 minutes. Use a round motion until the chemical is clear and free of striations. Allow the mixed components to stand in your mixed cup for at least 5 minutes. This allows for bubbles to rise to the surface. Small castings and potting units may take longer to cure than larger items.
This chemical needs to be stored in a dry, safe, temperature-controlled environment. Always keep the lids tightly sealed when not in use. Remember, oxygen and moisture oxidize and can rapidly degrade the epoxy and hardener. Moisture is also a potential issue. Always keep the bottles sealed when not in use.
When applying this product, use gloves, goggles, and proper safety equipment. Please refer to the safety data sheet before using any of our epoxy products.
- 2:1 Ratio - Mixing Instructions
Marine Shine is mixed at a 2:1 ratio by volume or weight. It is recommended to mix a minimum of at least 50 grams (2-3 oz.). This weight mixture will help in avoiding curing problems. Small batches below 50 grams (2-3 oz.) may experience improper curing.
