Does anybody know the ratio Component A-Hardener to be used with hand lay up + vacuum bagging technique? Smile

Thanks a lot. I've started to use the vacuum bagging technique only a few weeks ago and only once I made the bag, not using the appropriate ratio CF-epoxy, but anyway having a good result.  With the next bag I would like to have a better balance between the resin and the CF layers, just for this I asked. Thanks Wink

ideal would be 50-50 but you need to take into account wastage in the pot, on the brush, in consumables ect so always take this into account when weighing out what you need.  Some of the resin will go into the breather when you bag it so will bring it closer to the desired ratio.
