MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Before mixing make sure room temp is 70-80F. You can warm your resin A in a warm water bath and get your epoxy to 75F this makes for a nice thinner resin to mix easy.

1. Use a plastic mixing container with volume measurement marks.

2. Double check your mix ratio

3. In container mix part B hardener first. We do this because its thinner and won’t stick to the walls

4. Then add part A

5. Mix SLOWLY in a figure 8 pattern scraping the edges and bottom for about 1-2 min.

Note: It will look kind of cloudy and then once fully mixed will clear up. If you whip a lot of air in, it will turn white, milky or frothy.

6. Now that 1-2 min has past pour out your mixed epoxy from one container to a new clean container. And mix 1 more min.

Note: This ensures a complete mix and no left over residue on the edges.

7. Now your epoxy is fully mixed pour onto surface as quickly as possible. You don’t want your epoxy to exotherm in the container.
