I just got the resin delivered for my first boat. I got a 1.5 gallon

say I use up all the 1.5 gallons I have, and want another coat on the

With epoxy, uh, no unless you are particularly lucky.
Different resin suppliers make resins with different
chemistry. You'd be lucky to have them harden.

Even if I use the correct hardner?

Example: I use 1.5 Gal kit from Raka. I run out, and so order a pint
kit from system-3. I use the S3 resin with the S3 hardner. will it
bond okay to the Raka resin, that was mixed with the Raka hardner?
