POLYESTER, OR EPOXY RESIN AMOUNTS-(9' BOARD) PLUS POLYESTER
CATALYST RATIOS
Catalyst, and wax amounts are for polyester only - reduce catalyst
(polyester only) amounts if temperature is above 80 degrees F, and
do a test batch first. Do not start an epoxy lamination at
over 80 degrees F., unless using a slow hardener. Cloth amounts
are: 1-8oz oz top & bot. w/1-8oz deck patch.
Laminate coat
Bot.- 40oz=12cc cat
Top- 54 oz=16cc cat
Hot coat
Bot.- 18oz=5cc cat & 11cc wax
Top- 20oz=6cc cat &12cc wax
Gloss coat
Bot.- 18oz = 5cc cat. & 11cc wax
Top- 20oz = 6cc cat. & 12cc wax
Fin box
3 oz = 1cc cat. & 2cc wax
Catalyst percentages .5% .75% 1% 1.5% 2%
Pint=16oz resin add 3cc 4cc
5cc 7cc 9cc catalyst
Quart=32oz resin add 5cc 7cc 9cc 14cc
18cc catalyst
Helpful Equivalents
1cc=15drops
1oz=30cc
1cup=8oz
1pint=16oz
1quart=32oz
1gallon=128oz
Helpful Notes
10cc styrene wax (about 2%) for each pint of laminating resin (to
make it dry non-tacky-hot coat and gloss coat only). Maximum
1oz polyester type pigment/1quart resin (will inhibit hardening
of polyester resin at 1oz/1pint). Note: Some epoxy based
pigments will work in epoxy at a !0% ratio.
How To Figure Catalyst Amounts When You Have An Odd Resin Amount.
- Choose the % of catalyst. Note: 1% is a good starting
place.
- Convert the resin amount from oz. to cc. by multiplying oz.
times 30. Example: 20oz. x 30 = 600cc.
- Multiply the resin amount in cc's times 1% . Example:
600cc x 1% (.01) = 6cc catalyst.
How To Figure Epoxy/Hardener Amounts At A 2/1 Ratio.
- Choose an amount divisible by 3. Example: You need
44oz. total resin. 44 + 1 = 45.
- Divide by 3. 45 divided by 3 = 15. 15 is the hardener
amount.
- Multiply the hardener amount by 2. 15 x 2 = 30.
30 is the epoxy resin amount.
- Add/mix the hardener and epoxy together for the total needed
resin. 30 + 15 = 45.
