- Mix Ratio
- The gel time and cure time are both dependent on three things. These are
- The percentage of MEK-P used.
- The temperatures of all ingredients and environment.
- The mass concentration of the resin, solid mass vs. thin film. A normal starting level, at 72F, is 1-1/4 % by weight, or 10 drops catalyst per ounce of resin, or 1 teaspoon catalyst per pint of resin. If castings overheat, reduce the catalyst percentage and try again. On the other hand, if castings are soft, increase the catalyst percentage. As temperatures rise above 72F, decrease catalyst, and vice-versa. Experiment until the correct ratio is determined.
