Hello there everyone. I bought a resin having the mixing ratio 100:2. I was wondering if using half I will use 50:1 or less 25:0,5 ? It is correct ?
Thank you !

I have always mixed catalyzed resins as 100g + 1ml for 1%, technically incorrect but bloody close, these resins adjustable % anyway and not a fixed ratio like other resins.

Also makes the calculation really easy and less risk of mix mistakes.

For 1% ratio 1kg of resin is 10ml of catalyst.

100g is1ml
5kg is 50ml

Using mls with squeeze type catalyst dispensers.
