Thank you No! 16g of resin require 7.2g of hardener and 220g of resin require 99g of hardener (220*.45=99) Or if you want to do it by volume, 200ml of resin require 100ml of hardener!

But 1g =1ml 16g=16ml 200g=200ml and so this is what I dont understand, why have different methods when 2:1 ie 200g resin to 100g hardener could cover them all, because 200ml = 200g 100ml = 100g ??

No the density of the resin nor hardener is 1. More something like 1.15 g/ml for the resin and 0.95 for the hardener!
