There is no set rules on a ratio to use because there are too many other variables to take into consideration. The best thing to do is use use trial and error with small amounts first to see what you are dealing with. After that, start using more resin and increment the hardener accordingly from the small amounts you were using before.

This is going to be my last post on this topic because this discussion has been going on way too long.  I find it kind of funny that mikedawg is taking this so personally, that he has to post messages directly to me.  Have you already forgotten about snowdeath, the person who asked the question?  Every one of my posts (with exception of this one) has in some way given snowdeath info pertaining to the question he asked.  The whole point of this forum is to help people out who have questions, not to prove who knows more about what.  I would like to apologize to everyone reading this for starting the argument.  If I hadn't disputed something mikedawg said, this never would have happened.

P.S. Do you really want pics?  I have plenty of them.  None of them were taken on a digital camera, so I can't post them here.  But e-mail me your street address and I'd be glad to mail them to you.  As far as car stereo goes, I only have pics of some sail panel tweeter pods and some modification I did to my stock door panels.  The rest of them will be pictures of boats.  I repaired boats before I ever got into car stereos.  But hey, fiberglass is fiberglass right?

cool, but im not comfortable giving out my address. my daughter lives with me. fiberglass is fiberglass..true. honestly i think it would be easier to repair a boat hull than to do a complex car part. youre right about this being a helpful forum, but if you give people the wrong info, than what good is it? that was sweet how you apologized to everyone too. dont get so defensive when youre wrong. im wrong sometimes but i learn from it.

Snowdeath, post your brand of resin and I can get the exact ratio for you.  Too much hardener only weekens the final product in cases where weight is a factor and you are trying slide by with as little resin as possible.  The strength lies in your strands that is why mat and cloth have strength ratings and resin doesn't.  The recommended temperature on resin is primarily used for determining curing time not final strength.  Stereoonwheels, mikedawg takes it personally because you're responding based off of something he said if you think what I say is wrong I will take it personally.  I also work with fiberglass on a daily basis.  If you need some reassurance on my facts just give my supplier on shopmaninc.com a call he'll tell you exactly what I did.
