6 hrs pot life at 21 celsius.
About the same end strenght/hardness.



I found that the thicker the film was the harder it was to delaminate it from the steel.

I ended up pouring 5+mm thick 6 cm wide.

so a simple length x width x height will calculate volume.

I have a 185 cm x 100cm bed and ended up needing about 2.7 liter ~ 2.7kg.



i used 2m extra leveling channels.


so about 7.5 meters of 60mm wide 5+mm deep epoxy

I made an error during last pour and had to do it all over... so.. bought 6 kg in total.

Hope that helps.


4cm width 4mm thick is the minimum for 20mm rail as can be found on this forum.



Grtz Bert.

Thanks Bert

So it's 1kg to a litre? That's what I was thinking. So my channels are 40mm x 1350mm plus 2 channels to connect them at 40mm x 800mm. Say I go for a depth of 6mm epoxy that comes out at 1.032 litres.

Ideally I want to go for the wests but I can only seem to find the 209 in 1.45kg which is way too much. If it's 3.5:1 mix ratio then I should only need around 1kg of resin and 250g of hardener.
The 209 seems to be very unpopular in the UK though!
