Hi,
I was the same as you, found it a bit mind swirling, but one gentleman on this forum put it this way, which is so easy. ill try and find the thread, wanted to thank him as well.
Ok so its this calculation.
Total quantity of resin eg 150g divided by 1.3 = 115.38g this number is epoxy weight needed..... top up the rest with resin to 150g... or 34.62g hardener.
if you go over with resin or you want a quick top up.... lets say you pour in 125g of resin do 125g x 1.3 = 162.5g so top up with hardener to 162.5 grams
If you want to top up your pot with 50g resin weight, do 50g x 1.3 =65g top up to 65g with the hardener
i found this so simple and works. i hope that helps.
And thanks to the gent who posted this method, for ever greatful.
Cheers
Mark

Oops, for the last three I accidentially picked the same example. Sorry. Yes seems to be right.
