can have different mixing ratios depending on the manufacturer. In addition to the usual specifications of resin and hardener in a ratio of 1 : 1 or even 2 : 1, the manufacturer&#8217;s specifications sometimes also include much more complicated variants such as 100 : 45.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, you should read the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions on the packaging carefully before you start mixing. If you do not follow these instructions, the resin may not work as desired or may not cure in the end. Our epoxy resin calculator will help you determine the optimum mixing ratio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/ebook-epoxy-resin-for-arts-and-crafts\/\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1031053\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin.jpg\" alt=\"ebook epoxy resin\" width=\"942\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-300x57.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-880x166.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-768x145.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-30x6.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-75x14.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-110x21.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-160x30.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-500x94.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-610x115.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebook-epoxy-resin-480x91.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_Mixing_by_Volume_instead_of_by_Weight\"><\/span><strong>Tip <span class=\"ILfuVd c3biWd\"><span class=\"e24Kjd\">#2<\/span><\/span>: <\/strong>Mixing by Volume instead of by Weight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the manufacturer, it is possible that the resin and hardener differ in density. This means that they do not necessarily have the same weight. If the two components are now measured by weight using a scale and mixed in a ratio of 1:1, it is possible that the mixing ratio is actually incorrect because they have different weights. This problem increases the more volume you mix.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Tip:<\/em><strong> Use a measuring cup to measure the resin and hardener by volume when mixing the components. In this case the density of the corresponding material is irrelevant.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The scale of the measuring cup used should have the smallest usable increments possible to enable accurate measurement. First, put the resin into the measuring cup and wait a short moment. This allows the surface of the material to level out. Then you can add the exact same amount of hardener.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25240 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-mix-resin.jpg\" alt=\"how to mix resin\" width=\"942\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-mix-resin.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-mix-resin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-mix-resin-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-mix-resin-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-mix-resin-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_Observe_Ambient_Temperature\"><\/span><strong>Tip <span class=\"ILfuVd c3biWd\"><span class=\"e24Kjd\">#3<\/span><\/span>: <\/strong>Observe Ambient Temperature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Casting resin is a very heat-sensitive material. Therefore you should also keep an eye on the ambient temperature when mixing the resin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>At ambient temperatures below 20\u00b0 C., the resin cures much slower. In addition, a waxy layer, the so-called amine reddening, can form on the surface. This must first be removed before the epoxy resin can be further processed. And this removal can be extremely laborious. If the temperature drops significantly below 20\u00b0 C, it is also possible that the resin begins to crystallize.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>At ambient temperatures above 20 \u00b0 C., the reaction time of the resin increases significantly. And this applies not only to the time of curing, but also to the time in which the material is to be further processed. At very high temperatures it is, therefore, advisable to opt for a product with a longer processing time.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you use epoxy resin outdoors, you should keep in mind that the curing time can also be considerably longer if the temperature drops during the night. In addition, the dew caused by the temperature differences can negatively influence the quality of the surface of the material.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_4_The_Role_of_Humidity_in_Processing\"><\/span><strong>Tip <span class=\"ILfuVd c3biWd\"><span class=\"e24Kjd\">#4<\/span><\/span>: <\/strong>The Role of Humidity in Processing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just as sensitive as the resin is to temperatures, the hardener also reacts to contact with air. Therefore, if the humidity in the air is above 65% you should leave the bottle containing the hardener closed. If you do not use the material immediately, the quality will suffer.<\/p>\n<p>This effect also occurs when the bottle is opened and closed again and again, as oxygen enters the bottle each time and reacts with the hardener. For the same reason, the two components, resin and hardener, should only be handled with absolutely clean tools. Only in this way can a reaction within the container be prevented.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Tip:<\/em><strong> As undesirable side effects can occur at a humidity above 70 %, epoxy resin should not be used in this case.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If the application is to be carried out on a substrate with a moisture content of more than 6 % (e.g. concrete floor), this substrate should be primed in advance.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that epoxy resin can be processed optimally, it should first be stored for approx. 12 hours at an ambient temperature of 20 to a maximum of 25\u00b0 C. If this long storage period is not possible, the material can also be brought to the correct temperature by means of a water bath. This step is extremely important for a satisfactory result, as unsightly milky streaks or bubbles can form when casting resin that is too cold is processed. These are very difficult to remove later.<\/p>\n<p>The flow properties are significantly improved by heating the material. As mentioned above, however, higher temperatures also have an influence on the processing time. Basically, you should keep in mind that the processing and curing time is halved for each 10\u00b0 C increase in the temperature of the mixture.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Tip:<\/em> <strong>Not only the temperature of the synthetic resin, but also that of the surface on which the mixture is to be poured must be taken into account. If this is significantly lower than the temperature of the resin, which is tempered to the point, the curing can be negatively influenced. Temperature and humidity should be kept constant if possible to achieve optimum results.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25243 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/what-is-the-ratio-of-epoxy-and-hardener.jpg\" alt=\"what is the ratio of epoxy and hardener\" width=\"942\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/what-is-the-ratio-of-epoxy-and-hardener.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/what-is-the-ratio-of-epoxy-and-hardener-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/what-is-the-ratio-of-epoxy-and-hardener-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/what-is-the-ratio-of-epoxy-and-hardener-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/what-is-the-ratio-of-epoxy-and-hardener-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_5_Careful_Mixing_the_Components\"><\/span><strong>Tip <span class=\"ILfuVd c3biWd\"><span class=\"e24Kjd\">#5<\/span><\/span>: <\/strong>Careful Mixing the Components<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The thorough mixing of the resin and hardener is essential to obtain an attractive, useful result later on.

Special epoxy resin mixing sticks have the advantage that they can be used several times. They are also designed to prevent too much air from being stirred in. However, these mixing sticks are only advisable for mixing medium quantities of resin.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Tip:<\/em><strong> If you want to mix a large amount of epoxy resin, you should use a bucket with a spout.

So when buying epoxy resin, the following principle applies: If you buy cheap, you buy twice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/resin-and-hardener.jpg\" alt=\"resin and hardener\" width=\"942\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/resin-and-hardener.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/resin-and-hardener-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/resin-and-hardener-768x249.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/resin-and-hardener-610x198.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/resin-and-hardener-480x155.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_8_Use_only_compatible_Resins\"><\/span><strong>Tip <span class=\"ILfuVd c3biWd\"><span class=\"e24Kjd\">#8<\/span><\/span>: <\/strong>Use only compatible Resins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Resin and hardener from the same manufacturer are usually optimally matched to each other.

If you add more hardener to the mixture than the manufacturer has recommended, the material is often less hard and robust after curing. If you add too much resin, the surface may become sticky or the material may not cure at all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_11_Never_add_Water_to_the_Epoxy_Resin\"><\/span><strong>Tip <span class=\"ILfuVd c3biWd\"><span class=\"e24Kjd\">#11<\/span><\/span>: <\/strong>Never add Water to the Epoxy Resin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As long as the resin is still liquid it should not come into contact with moisture.

This is due to a so-called exothermic reaction. The extent of this reaction depends on the resin, the quantity mixed, and not least on the height of the mixing container. Therefore, here are a few things to consider.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>There is a limit for the mixed amount of resin and hardener. This should not be exceeded. If in doubt, mix a smaller amount of resin twice instead of once, or ask the manufacturer how much resin you can mix at once without problems.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat generation during mixing is significantly reduced if you select a sufficiently large mixing container for this process.

She worked for a company offering corporate wellness programs for several years before opening her own therapy practice. In 2015, she was asked by a digital marketer friend to join her company as a content creator, and it was here that she discovered her enthusiasm for writing.
