Hi Folks

Just thought I'd pass on a lesson I learnt last night. I'm very much a hobbiest and new to proper fiberglass. I'm no stranger to resin, though. The mixing ratio on the hardener bottle was a little ambiguous to me last night and I have some unset resin this morning. Instead of mixing 100 parts resin to 30 parts hardener  I thought the label indicated a range of 1:100 to 1:30 mixing ratio....

Funny that, because I got the mixing ratio on the Gel Coat just right.

EasyComposites, if you're reading this, may I appeal to you to make your labels a little more unambiguous for "Idiots Like Me(tm)"? Its really my fault, but maybe we can save someone else having to re-do about 10 hours worth of work.
