What is the difference between 1 1 and 2 1 resin?
A 2:1 ratio means 2 parts of A resin, and 1 part of B hardener are mixed together. A 1:1 ratio means 1 part of A resin and 1 part of B hardener are mixed together. These specific ratios mixed together create a very specific chemical reaction (a molecular handshake) which causes the combined epoxy cure solid.
Typically, this is 1 : 1 or 2 : 1 between resin and hardener, but there are also much more complicated ones such as 100 : 45. You can usually find the details on the packaging or containers. The mixing ratio has to be very precise, otherwise the epoxy resin will not harden or it will not work optimally.
Well, there are a few reasons this could be happening. If your ratio of resin to hardener is off, your resin will not harden. If the ambient temperature in your workspace isn't ideal, or if your resin mixture has been contaminated, this could also cause your resin to not cure correctly.
How to properly measure epoxy resin | 2:1 Ratio Explained - YouTube
Relatively speaking, epoxy is the easiest to work with. It's the most forgiving of beginner resin mistakes, plus it's the easiest to mix and measure.
Mix the resin
VOLUME - To achieve the correct 2:1 mix ratio by volume, simply measure out 2-parts resin to 1 part hardener before mixing the components.
Layering in molds - allow each layer to set up for at least 3 hours before pouring next layer. Doming - you can apply your resin right after the 5 minute rest period, or let the resin thicken for up to 25-30 minutes.
In most cases, the reason you have resin that bends is due to the fact that the resin needs more time to cure. After 24 hours, ArtResin will be at a 95% solidity rate. If you attempt to curve or move the resin before that 24 hour mark, the resin will likely bend.
Sticky, tacky resin: This is often caused by inaccurate measuring, not mixing thoroughly or by curing in cold temperatures. Try moving your piece to a warmer spot: if it doesn't dry, re-pour with a fresh coat of resin.
Your resin's pot time is reduced.
Pot time, also known as open time, is the amount of time you have to use the mixed resin and hardener before it starts to cure. When using too much hardener, the mixture heats up too quickly and may cure before you ever get a chance to use it.
What is a 1 1 mix?
1:1 ratio is 1 part or 1 unit of a particular quantity. for example, two bottles of water both having 2 liters of water each the ratio will be 22=11=1:1.
For example if the numbers of boys and girls at a hockey match are in the ratio 2:1 , we know the following information: There are more boys than girls. There are 2 boys for every girl. The number of boys is double the number of girls, which is the same as saying there are half as many girls as boys.
To calculate the amount you will need, in metric, you will need work out the size of the volume you wish to fill, convert that to the capacity and finally convert to the required weight: Total Weight = (Width x Height x Depth) / 1000 divide by a thousand when mesuring in millimeters.
Little Windows Brilliant Resin layers beautifully and seamlessly. You can pour thin or thick layers to add embellishment, and create dimension and 3D effects. Allow your resin to set up 3-6 hours between layers, depending on the weight of what you're adding to the next layer.
Epoxy coating resin has a more viscous consistency as compared to casting resin. It dries or cures faster than casting resin. Compared to casting resin, epoxy coating resin has relatively shorter processing times. Because the ink layers do not mix, they can be better controlled.
Casting epoxy has a much lower viscosity than its laminate counterpart, meaning that its consistency is thinner and can therefore be poured with great ease. Thus, this type of resin is ideal for pouring into molds, as the fluidity of the liquid allows it to reach and fill small gaps and holes.

A 2 oz. tube of liquid hardener (MEK Peroxide) is sufficient to harden the entire contents of a gallon container. Add 14 drops of liquid hardener per 1 oz. of Fiberglass Resin (or for ¼ can of Fiberglass Resin, use ¼ tube of liquid hardener).
