Hi, at 20 °C and 2% MEKP what could be an expected approximate wait time to get to the B stage "firm but tacky"?
Thanks

The ec pattern coat is extremely fast. It depends on the volume you are mixing. Larger volumes will preheat themselves quite a bit, wich will reduce the potlife. I usually only got 5-10min potlife out of the resin, and was able to apply the next coat 20 min after the first one.

I will try and let you know.
Thanks
