EPOXY - resin:hardener ratios ?
Howdy Evan:
As with all epoxies, the pot life varies dramatically with temperature... But, during a nice 80 degree day, it's about 50- 60 minutes. I chose this combination due to the fairly low mixed viscosity of about 450 cps, which gives a nice wet-out to all of the glass / kevlar I've used to date. Note that the elongation % of concern is that of the 'system', as opposed to just the hardner. See for example: http://69.239.32.181/Jeffco/Systems/...y=1314with3138 which is Jeffco's 1314 resin with the same 3138 hardner. The elongation of the 'system' with a moderate post-cure is 5.5%, which compares most favorably to Gougeon's Pro-Set 125/229 at 4.5%. There used to be a similar 'system' page for the 1310-L6 / 3138 combination, but it looks like they've moved on. MW |
