In Reply to: Mixing different brands of epoxy/hardener posted by Page on November 15, 2002 at 10:25:45:
: My local West Marine store has 2 gallons of SeaFit epoxy resin that I can get for $23/gallon(!) But they no longer have any hardener of the same brand. It's supposed to be mixed at 4:1 ratio. My question is: Can I use Glen-L or West System hardener? Would I use their 5:1 ratio?
: Or should I forget it...?
I would not recommend mixing components from different products. There are common components in many resins and hardeners, but the formulations are different. While they might harden and might not, there is no way of knowing what the characteristics of the product will be.
