Title: Mixing Epoxy Resin Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, October 22, 2016, 09:43:03 I need a very small amount of this to attach some magnets to wheel spokes, the kit I bought off eBay has had the card cut down to fit the envelope and half the instructions are missing, is the ratio of resin to hardener to mix normally 1:1 as that's what I am inclined to do?
Any suggestions? Title: Re: Mixing Epoxy Resin Post by: THE FLASH on Saturday, October 22, 2016, 09:57:00 The hardener is usually a lot less?
I would google it. Title: Re: Mixing Epoxy Resin Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, October 22, 2016, 10:10:48 What size is the hardener packet in comparison to the epoxy packet?
Mix them in that proportion. Title: Re: Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, October 22, 2016, 10:15:20 They are both the size of a small super glue tube, I literally only need about a finger tip size bit to attach two magnets to bike spokes. Had a look on Google and there seems to be no definitive answer! My own fault for buying cheap on eBay!

It's normally 1:1, especially the cheap stuff. If that doesn't work then try a different ratio with small amounts.
Title: Re: Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, October 22, 2016, 17:32:21 Cheers, gone with 1:1 and seems to have stuck OK so will leave overnight and see how it looks before doing the other one, plus a few other things the wife has identified need bonding.

No, some antlers on a reindeer, as you ask....Title: Re: Mixing Epoxy Resin Post by: Ells on Sunday, October 23, 2016, 21:51:21 Should've just used some sugru.
