yeah... Cool, have to take a look at CT for it.
I read somewhere that hardener/resin goes "bad" after a year or so. Not sure if I would use a larger bottle within a year

Should have the box finished, except the paint, today

I've only seen the little bottles of hardener at CT. They have bigger bottles of the stuff but it seems to be for other stuff like body filler.

If you buy other brand of hardener you might need less to activate the product. With the Bondo brand you need 20-30 drops where with normal resin it's 5-6 drops I think.

Resin will thicken over time but MEKP hardener seems to keep forever - I've had it on the shelf for years and it works fine.

Thanks DS, bland, Dukk ...just what I needed to know

I think you're right bland, I didn't notice the big bottle of hardener I thought I saw before, when I went to CT today. Hell not even a little bottle!
I only found whats essentially the same tube you get with the 1 ltr can of resin, only there's a "cover" over the tube...
