Where do you guys buy your hardener. Autozone has eye dropper sized things for 3 bucks. I've gone through 3 already without using too much resin. I know I'm not the only one that thinks its a scam, but I haven't found a larger size anywhere.
It says 50 drops for 8 oz. There's only about 100 drops in one if that.
you're doing it wrong.
The hardeners that come with the resin are plenty. If you're using more than that, you're not mixing correctly, and are probably making your resin brittle.

I tried a little bit of resin with a few drops of hardener and it still set, just took longer. So I used only a few drops on each of the batches after that and it all works fine now. Their labels are wrong, you can't go by what they say, only by guestimate.
I get all of my paint and body work supply's I go to the local Automotive paint store called (Finish Masters) or a place called APC (automotive paint company)
Look in your local phone book. (yellow pages) let your fingers do the walking ..
good luck

labels aren't wrong. you're doing it wrong. remember that the cooler the temp, usually the more hardener you have to use. could be your issue.

haha...the label is wrong
. Like said above...what temperature are you working with it in? When it's colder it will take a much longer time to cure...try using a heater/heat lamp near your work to help it cure.
